President's Day weekend we took a mini-trip to Buffalo and Toronto. Initially planned as a way to get out of town after the Democratic designation, when Jeff would either be honored to be chosen as the party's city court judge candidate, or humiliated and mad not to have been, we also wanted to take advantage of the long weekend and spend some time in a new place. Saturday afternoon, after a difficult and stressful morning awaiting the counting of ballots, we left for Buffalo. We met Auntie Alexis and family at a YMCA for fun in their "adventure room," which involved lots of shrieking and building with giant foam blocks and running around. Back at Alexis and Max' house, there was lots of pizza eating and video game playing.
Sunday we left for Toronto. On the way I realized that the zoo was going to close earlier than I'd thought, and that we wouldn't have much time there, so we detoured to Legoland in a beautiful fancy new mall outside of the city. We had a most excellent lunch and then hit Legoland for a few hours. They had a fun family ride, lots of cool Lego displays, and lots of hands-on stuff to do, including a station to make your own stop-animation video, a Lego car racing track, and lots more. It was totally packed because it turns out that President's Day in the US is "Family Day" in Ontario, so it was a holiday weekend there too. Oh well.
