from 7-30-08

ok, ok, ok... .enough harrassment! here's more blog!!!!


Things have been pretty busy..... got home to a whole mess of committments, so I've been busy... and then hockey started up again.... yea!




(7-30-08)-- Got on the road today around 11…. lots of traffic! Arrived in Toronto at 1-ish…. off to the Hall of Fame… but first we had to pass the air Canada center…. and a quick pic with the Leafs banner behind us….. Bill enjoyed this maybe tooooo much??!! Got inside and went off to get photo with the Stanley Cup!!!! They gave us gloves to wear so we could touch it… that was too awesome!! Wish we could have picked it up… then we walked around and looked at all the other trophies and then the hall of famers…… found Denis Potvin—that was neat….Patrick Roy, Gretzky, Lemieu….. etc. Saw the one tiny spot they have on the Panthers--Jokinen was the player in the window listed as "Fan Fav"-- yea- another "great" trade by Jacques Martin-- our fav was sent to Phoenix. After roaming around for quite some time and taking some pictures, we hit the store…. then back to Niagara… Went to see Bill’s parents and hung out there for a few hours….then to dinner at Boston Pizza again (Kawena wanted to go here)then bed. Have not had dinner before 9 since getting to Canada.

Bill torturing Kawena outside the AirCanada Centre-home of the Leafs.... we later find out that our fav- Mike Van Ryn is traded here.... can anyone say "hate" and "J.Martin" in the same sentence??
in front of the Air Canada Centre.... boo Leafs!
