At the very last second, we decided to wrap up our Summer of Awesome with a road trip to Toronto and Niagara Falls. I don’t think I can emphasize enough how very, very unlike me it is to throw together a trip at the last second. I barely had time to make, like, four lists. How can one travel with ONLY FOUR LISTS?
Crazy.
Anyway, the trip was awesome. In Toronto, we went to the Science Centre and Centre Island; in Niagara Falls we did Maid of the Mist and Marineland, and most importantly, stayed in a hotel, which as far as the kids are concerned, was NIRVANA. I’m not going to go into any more detail than that as I think this trip has fairly narrow appeal, but if you’re really dying to know more, let me know.
So now we’re back, and I’ll be spending this week running around like a nutcase getting the kids ready for school, doing about a MILLION last minute things for Little Miss Sunshine’s co-operative nursery school (I’m on the executive there, and oh, how I pine for the simple days of the PTA!), trying to squeeze in a bit more Summer of Awesome Awesomeness including sixteen birthday parties, and OH MY GOD, planning my sister’s bridal shower which is this Saturday.
So I might not be as chatty as usual, despite the fact that So You Think You Can Dance Canada has begun, and you just KNOW I have a ton to say about THAT. Until I can find some free time, though, have a look at my post on

Try to delegate as much shower stuff as you can to LittleSis. She’s far less busy, and she’s got off pretty easy with this whole wedding thing. I’m sure she’d be happy to take on whatever she can!
sounds like a fun trip- and a crazy couple of weeks ahead.
Good luck with all the back to school mayhem.
I was wondering where you had gone to 🙂 We went to Niagara Falls this summer too. We will have to get together and exchange notes 🙂
Way to go planning a trip quickly like that. Only 4 lists would be impossible for me and I would surely end up being a puddle of goo on the floor from the stress of it all.
Yay, You!
Sounds awesome. Love squeezing in end ‘o summer fun. Count me in as one who would like to hear more about the road trip, in your spare time. Good luck with your crazy fall! I hear you can buy birthday gifts in bulk.
