Toronto!

Toronto was a ton of fun! I posted all of the photos on my Yahoo photos website. It was a lot of driving and I am pretty sure I hate riding in a car now though. Friday we drove to just outside of Syracuse to stay in a hotel. Then the next morning we headed up to Niagara Falls (the Canada side) and had lunch and got to see the falls. It was really neat! We took a lot of pictures and movies there. Then we headed up to Toronto. That was good - the place we stayed, Casa Loma Inn, was really pretty. In John's words, though, the service was lacking. It was just one woman running the place and we never saw her except to check in. It was a little less personable than the other places we'd stayed on our honeymoon, which is kind of unfortunate. But our room was beautiful - made me kind of feel like a princess! It was strange to be sleeping in a king size bed - John and I could toss and turn all we want and we never smashed into each other! Not to mention, having an air conditioner in the bedroom was a welcome change also. Saturday night we went to Medieval Times. I love that place. Love it, love it, love it! Oh my goodness. I've been three times now, and every time I just love it! I told John that if there was a Medieval Times in NH, I would quit my job in a heartbeat! I am so fascinated by medieval stuff. I should really start researching it and becoming more familiar with it.
Sunday we took a tour of Casa Loma and that was so cool! There's a bunch of pictures of that in the photos too. That afternoon, we went back to Niagara Falls and did the Maid of the Mist tour, which is when you go on a boat and they actually take you out into the falls. We got soaked, but it was so much fun! Then we did the Journey Behind the Falls, which was a fun too, but the Maid of the Mist was much better. It was a really neat place to be at night, they shine colored lights on the falls which makes them look so pretty. It's a really cool natural wonder that we learned a bunch about. Monday we just drove home. It was a long drive, but fortunately we didn't kill each other! We definitely got snippy a few times, but it happens.
The bummer all weekend was that I had a wicked sore throat. So we got home and I felt like I had a fever and that I was really getting sick. I didn't even sleep at all last night and I called out from work at 3:30am today. I went to the doctors and the nurse practitioner thinks that it's either a serious case of strep or mono. My glands are super swollen and I have all these white spots in my throat and all kinds of good stuff. The ARNP was like "How can you even swallow?!" and I was like "Very carefully!" I have a fever, which has been making this really hot weather really interesting. My body feels hot, but internally I feel really cold. Does that even make sense??
I hope it's not something that makes me be out of work a lot. I don't have the time available to be sick!
As I started to mention briefly in my last entry, I'm taking a family to court. The very first one in almost 8 months. I can't believe it took this long for me to file on a family. Not complaining though! I'm a nervous wreck about it though. I have to face the family in court on Wednesday on the CHINS petition that was filed on the kid, who has his own issues.
