I thought it would be amusing to take pictures of all the various rest stops we would surely visit at on our trip. This one is in Illinois on our first night driving, heading to Kalamazoo.

|
The next morning, we stopped here, in Michigan, a few miles before we crossed the border into Canada. Here ends the grand plan to take rest stop pictures.
|
|
The John LaBatt Centre in London, Ontario.
This is the venue we saw Harry at. They play hockey there and the ice was still down. BRRRRR!
|
|
Outside the venue, announcing the evening's show.
|
|
|
|
|
This building was across the street from the venue. We went over and read the plaque, but I cannot remember what the building was for.
|
|
Rhinoceros sculpture outside the London Museum that my mom liked. As we were leaving the museum, I was stopped by a group of people who wanted me to take a picture of them all with the rhinoceros for a scavenger hunt.
|
|
Outside the London Museum. It was a really nice museum with some art and a well done exhibit on the history of the area.
|
|
Mom by the riverwalk by the museum. I think it was the Thames River. (Everything was named for something from Britain.)
|
|
Mom relaxes in our very nice hotel room at the Delta London Armouries Hotel. The valet even went and retreived my camera when I left it in the car.
|
|
Another nice thing about the Delta London Armouries Hotel: free high speed internet.

|
Beautiful stained glass ceiling in the Hockey Hall of Fame
|
|
Another view of the ceiling. It was above the Stanley Cup.
|
|
Speaking of the cup. Here it is. The Hockey Hall of Fame was really spectacular. I'd recommend it for anyone, regardless of their initial interest in the sport.
|
|
Another view of the room that holds the trophies in the hall of fame.
|
|
More trophies and you can see the wall of hall of fame members in the back.
|
|
CN Tower! The view from outside near the ticketing kiosk.
|
|
Base of the tower. My mom is on the right.
|
|
Mom was amused by this moose inside the tower.
|
|
We started at the TOP! In the sky pod all the way up at 1,465ft.
