Biodome and Olympic Park

While in Canada, we tried to do something each day that was fun and interesting for Finn.  The rest of the time was spent walking and exploring as we got to the place.  Also, we ate a lot of food.   

One day we went to the Biodome.  It used to be a venue for the Olympics from my understanding and has since been turned into this...









 I think Tosh was more interested in the Penguins and Puffins than Finn.  Not to say Finn didn't like them. Tosh just really wants a puffin.
We also went to the Olympic Park.  Finn has been very into the Olympics lately. 

 The chair Finn is sitting in was a seat from the stadium where the gymnast performed...
A quick selfie in front of the track and field board...
 The pool was very impressive....
 The lanes have been changed to go the other direction now as it is used as a rec center. You can pay a yearly fee and swim and work out there.   The lanes for the Olympics would run the length of the blue lines you see on the bottom of the pool going from one side of picture to the other...
 Impressed....

 This was on the way to the stadium where track and field was. It is all the posters from host cities...
 The track stadium now is an indoor stadium.  The roof on the original was designed to be indoor/outdoor but was turning into a mess when it rained.   The tour guide said that this is now used for something hilarious like craft shows or something...
 This is where my second experience with panic attack happened.    There are rails and then a huge drop off.
 And so I obviously cried and had to walk off and try to breath....
 Tosh said, "Oh at least you cut off your tears..."
 I am not sure why that kept happening to me. I am not afraid to fly. I am not afraid of roller coasters.  I wanted to live on the 11th floor of an apartment made of glass in D.C.   It was really bizarre.  

Outside of a little moment of panic, it was really cool getting to see Olympic facilities especially now as we are watching the Olympics.   

More to come...
