"Oh What a Night"

Scot & I were lucky enough to be able to take advantage of a trip to Toronto w/Michigan Millers Insurance Company. Michigan Miller's Agency Incentive Trip for 2008 was four days in Toronto, Canada. Thursday morning Scot & I had to be at Michigan Millers Headquarters in Lansing at 5:15 to catch a charter bus. The bus took us to Windsor. At Windsor we caught a train to Toronto. This was the 1st time Scot & I have been on a train. The train was nice & spacious.

We arrived in Toronto around 3:00 & checked into the Fours Seasons Hotel. This hotel was 1st class all the way. Definitely a hotel Scot & I are not accustomed to.

Here is our view from our room on the 21st floor.

Thursday night the trip started w/a cocktail reception.

This is Dave & Debbie Hildenbrand. Dave is my producer I work with at Lighthouse Insurance.

Evonne Miedema & Marsha Jensen-Lewis are two other co-workers that also attended the trip.

On Friday, after breakfast, Scot & I walked around Toronto to check out the city. Toronto is a very big town with tons of shopping opportunities. Around noon, we caught the charter buses and took advantage of the tour to Hockey Hall of Fame.

Scot & I were able to see and touch the Stanley Cup!

After our tour we got ready for our dinner at the Centro Restaurant. Scot got fillet mignon & I got chicken. After dinner we went to the play/musical, "Jersey Boys". "Jersey Boys" is based on the story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons. The the play was EXCELLENT & Scot and I really enjoyed it. The actors in this play have all been blessed with huge talent. If you were wondering why my title is "Oh What a Night", it is b/c that is a song by The Four Seasaon that we sang a lot during the weekend & could not get it out of our heads. After the play we went back to the hotel and were surprised with a gift bag in our room. In the gift bag was the CD from the musical, "Jersey Boys" and a bottle of wine.

Saturday we spent the day at Niagara Falls. We had to take the charter buses for a 90 minute ride to get there, but it was sure worth it. Niagara Falls is a reminder of God's art work. What a beautiful sight! We took the historical ride abroad the world famous Maid of the Mist. Yes, we did get wet but it was fun. After our boat ride we had lunch w/Marsha and Will Lewis. After dinner we did a little bit of shipping & our last stop was to the Hershey Store! You can't walk out of that store w/out getting some kind of chocolate - YUMMY!!!

Scot and I in front of the falls - What a beautiful sight!!

Niagara Falls had beautiful flower gardens. There was several bridal parties getting their pictures taken.

Here we are on the Maid of the Mist. You have to love the blue rain gear:)

Our Saturday ended with a Gala Farewell Reception at The Grand Banking Hall at 1 King West. The restaurant was beautiful.


This weekend Scot had to get dressed up every night for dinner. He even wore a sports jacket! I will tell you what, for a contractor he cleans up really nice!! He looks hot in a tie!

Thanks Michigan Millers for the WONDERFUL WEEKEND!
