Last night Neil and I decided to surprise mom with a dinner at the 360 Restaurant at the CN Tower. It went over so well with Liz and Chris when they visited in November why not try with my mom. Also it's the best way to get a view of the whole city.
It didn't start out so great. Little did I know mom had a fear of heights... oops. And of elevators. Double Oops.
But the elevator trip is a minute (for real) to get up there and once she saw the restaurant she was okay. I told her there were no glass floors, they don't want people to get sick while eating!
We got an awesome table right near the glass so she had a great view. She didn't want to sit near the glass though so she sat next to Neil and I was across from them. We were able to get there while the sun was up, so we saw the sun set and the city at night. Neil pointed out parts of Toronto to her and talked about the city and I think she enjoyed learning about it.
Neil and my mom went for the price fix menu. (four course)
