Trip to Utica, Niagara Falls & Toronto - Happy Valentine's Day!

Wow, what a wonderful weekend I had with Geoff.  We took off Friday morning at around 6:45 to head to Utica, New York for my check up.  The appointment went very well, except for finding out that now my Thyroid is too low (meaning it is now Hyperactive instead of Hypoactive).  Besides that, they are very happy with the amount of weight loss to date.

After leaving the surgeon's office, we took some time to do some shopping (vitamins & clothes).  Then we headed back to Canada towards Niagara Falls.  What a lovely place, it's almost like a mini Las Vegas! We didn't stay too long as it was getting late.  We headed for our hotel room in Toronto. 

Saturday, we took a trip to the Royal Ontario Museum.  For the first time in my life, I took a subway.  I couldn't believe that when I went through those metal turney things that you have to pass through after paying, that my butt fit through!!!  It was very cool!  We met some people on the subway from Orillia and chatted up a storm with them.  I know, a bit too friendly on a subway, but that's Geoff and I.

Sunday for valentine's day, we were supposed to treck our way back home between the 401 and Hwy 7, but we saw a sign for 'Body World's' at the Ontario Science Museum, so our plans changed quickly and so did Mr. GPS.  The Body World's exhibit was fascinating and recommend it to anyone that has a chance to see it.  If you a near Toronto, go!  It's only there for a bit longer, and worth the time.

After the museum, we headed home.  Although the weekend away was awesome, it still feels so good to be home.  Home is where the heart is.

This morning, I weighed myself, and I'm now down 72 lbs!  It's incredible!  Almost in Onederland!

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend.  I know Geoff and I sure did.

Cheers :D
