Canada Trip

I ran to the plane.  I hopped in my seat.  I was ready to go.  “That 6 hour delay in the airport sure was tiring.” I said.  When I finally was settled on the plane, I heard the loudspeaker say, “Attention passengers, the plane has been delayed.  It shouldn’t be more than a – couple hours.”  The crowd sighed with frustration.  When we finally arrived to Canada, I saw the biggest tower in North America.  Toronto’s great big CN Tower.

The plane I went on to go to Canada.

Mom said that the CN Tower is a restaurant.  So we went there for dinner.  “Wow, I didn’t know it spins!  I exclaimed.  

“It spins fully around every 30 minutes.”  Mom replied.  Of course, we sat on the window side.  So we can see all of the buildings in Toronto.  After we ate,  which took about two hours, there was a glass floor, so we can see 1816 feet down.  Some people even stomped on the glass floor and they were seeing if they can break it.  I just walked on it.  It took us about 10 minutes to try and find the way out because all the doors were locked.

The next morning, I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame with my hockey team.  There were jerseys of all the hockey players that got inducted into the Hall of Fame.  I saw Gordie Howe’s Jersey, I saw Wayne Gretzky’s Jersey.  His was the best jersey there.  As I saw Gretzky’s jersey, I thought “Wow!  He actually wore that?  I saw the puck marks and lines on Wayne’s jersey so it had to be true.  Not to mention that it is in the Hall of Fame.  I saw Bobby Orr’s jersey  with the Bruins logo.  I saw I saw Mario Lemieux’s Jersey with the Penguins logo.  After that, we went into the original Montreal Canadiens locker room with all the pads and equipment.  Finally we went to the Stanley Cup room.  I saw all of the Stanley Cups that were used over the years I even saw the first one.  The first one it was mostly wood, at the top it was metal.  The first Stanley Cup and all of the other Stanley Cups except for the new one they were in a vault.  The Stanley Cups were protected by a glass case.

I saw the real Stanley Cup I touched it and took a picture with it and my team.  At that time they were called the Kings.  It was a spring team, not my regular season team the Generals.  “Wow!” I exclaimed as I saw the Stanley Cup.

“Mom, can we visit Canada again?”

“Sure maybe one day if we have another hockey tournament up here.” Mom replied.

“Okay.”  I said as I was about to board the plane back to America.  I will never forget the time I went to Canada or even out of the country. I will never forget the time I went to the Hall of Fame with Gretzky’s jersey and the CN Tower with the glass floor.  After that day, I learned always try something new.  I realized that Canada is almost as good as America.
