" A way to come together and a way to make things better. We need a holiday..."

So this summer I went on vacation to Canada: Toronto & Stratford, along with Chicago. I had the time of my life. It always feels good to just get away for a little while and have a good time. We drove 20 hours and believe me..it was a long time but the excitment got me by. I've had a little obsession with Canada for awhile, it just seemed so cool. The first day we arrived there we went to meet up with our family friends and then hit the Eaton Center which is this huge outdoor shopping area. They have over 200 stores and people go to the center of that place, Danders Square (similar to time square) where people sing and dance and perform there. There was even a michael jackson memorial on the day of his death anniversary. That was the spot.

The second day we went to Stratford which happens to be Justin Bieber's home town. Yes. I'm one of them. I'm a belieber. We arrived in Stratford and I was a little shocked, it was a really small town. Mostly residential homes and they had one "main street" with little shops and restaurants. It was the cutest thing i've ever seen. All the old buildings and such. I had lunch at pizza pizza where Justin bieber ate in never say never and they talked to me about justin a bit. Then I went down to the stratford upon avon lake and as we were walking back to the car my uncle met a coworker of his. She happened to be from stratford and know Justin bieber's mom from school and a dance class they took together. She offered to take me to his house and some other spots. So she took me to all the diferent places from NSN and we ended at justin's house. I had a letter to leave justin..just because I wanted too. So I got out of the car and walked to the mail box. Then this dog stars barking, not just any dog, but sammy bieber. I freak out and go back to the car. My mom tells me to go back and not to be scared. Then a man comes to the window, my parents think it's justin's grandpa and start waving at him. The lady goes in the back of the car and hides because she thinks they'll call the police.

Justin's Uncle Chris (who's his mom patties brother) makes a wait sign and comes outside. I patientlly wait and out comes this man that not wearing a shirt, that looks kind of short and a dog whom runs out and he catches. And suprisingly he starts to chat with me and my family about his family, and justin, and us, and why we were there, and what big of a fan I was. I tell him about my letter then he goes "I normally don't give anyone special treatment but...wait. Turn off the cameras. All of them. " So my parents and I turn off our camera's and the camcorder and he goes, "Come with me". Me, my uncle, monika, and my brother start walking to the door and he turns around and says, "wait, not all of you. Just her." and he points at me and smiles". My heart starts beating so fast and I understand whats happening. He opens the door and I walk in. To my left are all these pictures in beautiuful black frames of justin and pattie and all the other members of their family like a collage. There are stairs going up and stairs going down. Chris starts walking up and in the living room I see couches and a tv like any other living room. Theres a white avril lavigne pillow on the couch that looks autographed. The walls are filled with all of Justin's platnium album thingy's. The main one about the couch has all 3 of the albums and a big gold record.

Chris motions for me to come up more stairs and theres a platinum album for the acoustic on the wall. Then he opens a door and i'm in Justin Bieber's room. It was just like in the movie. The bed was made but just a little messy like someone had sat on it or laid on it. The room was really small. There was maple leaf stuff all over the wall that matched his bed cover. On the left side he had all these medals from soccor and hockey and two pictures of him when he was little, one of them was him on the soccer field. On the right was his dresser with a bottle of someday on and some lotion and stuff. Not much. Then his uncle chris says have you heard of someday? And I go "yeah I have it!" and he goes "well this is Justin bieber's special bottle" and he sprays it on both sides of my neck. I freak out some more then he motions like time to go and gives me a speech about how I shoulden't tell justin's grandparents he could get in trouble blah blah blah. Then I agree and beg for just one picture in justin's room. He says no and that this is for justin's privacy. And he also says, "I don't want these all over facebook and youtube and all that. This way no one will ever believe you" . He laughs and i'm crying inside of joy and saddness. He gives me a hug and off I go.

Long story short, I had a great time in stratford
