My Adventure with Scooby in Canada


We spent a few days in Canada this week and of course Scooby had to join us. I pretty much take Scooby everywhere with me.

Niagara


We started our trip at Niagara Falls. This is the first time our kids have ever been there and it was so cool to see the Falls.


Scooby, luckily, didn't get blown over the railing since it was so windy there.


I like Moose, and since we were in Canada we decided to find this cool blue Moose statue.


Here is Scooby next to the Wizard's Golf building. It looked like a giant castle.


King Kong and Frankenstein were in Niagara too.


We found another Moose Mountie and Scooby posed with him.


We also found a big Mario!


Scooby even had a rainbow shoot out of his mouth near the Falls.


Scooby fit nicely in my pocket so he could see the sites and still be safe.


We went to the Flying Saucer Restaurant. It was like a diner in a flying saucer.

Toronto


Next, we went to Toronto and did a walking tour of downtown. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and it was interesting learning about the city.


We didn't go to the CN Tower, but a picture of it was a must.


These clouds were along the walking tour.


We checked out the Toronto Zoo and this was the only picture I took of Scooby there. It was so hot and we walked for an hour and a half on the walking tour and then for hours at the zoo. The Toronto Zoo is a very tiring zoo to walk around. It is very hilly and some of the habitats require walking long distances. We walked about 9 miles that day.


For dinner we went to Wimpy's Diner. This was the hamburger my hubby ordered.


On our last day, we visited Casa Loma. What a beautiful Castle!



We climbed to the top of the turret, only one of them was open. There was an amazing view!


This was in the basement of the castle.


We checked out the Poop Cafe. It was a little weird and took a little getting used to. It's hard to associate food and poop. There were poop emojis painted on the walls, poop couches and toilets to sit on, urinal glasses, and poop shaped cookies and lollipops.



Scooby was a sport! He sat on the couch and the toilet seat.


The ice cream was amazing!! This was caramel ice cream, a waffle, whipped cream, caramel corn, and strawberries. It was so good!


Scooby enjoyed the lollipop too.


Scooby posed with the giant poop.


And with the corgi.

Going Home


We stopped at Jellystone Park on the way home to get some pictures of Scooby's pal, Yogi.




It took us a little longer to get through the border on the way out of Canada. There was more traffic than when we got there.


We saw this sign and the race car at a rest area in NY.



The Buffalo nickel, buffalo statue and dog statue were in Buffalo, NY.



It was another successful trip for Scooby, and he enjoyed being out of the country. Lucky for me, he didn't need a passport.

My Scooby Stuff - Item 371 - Zombie Scooby

Item 371 - Zombie Scooby


My husband had this zombie Scooby-Doo made for me several years ago and I thought it was a good time to post it with Return to Zombie Island coming out in a little over a month. This was made from a plush Scooby, however, the tag was removed so I don't have any of the copyright info. Scooby is 11" wide by 13" tall.


From this side, you can see Scooby's jaw bone, his leg bone and a lot of fake blood.


From this side, you can see Scooby's ear is missing and part of his brain is sticking out, his jaw bone, his tail bone and his leg bone.


The back of Scooby shows his spine sticking out and his tail bone.


From this angle, you can really see his jaw bone hanging down and that his ribs are sticking out. He still has his iconic collar and SD tag.


This is a little better picture of his jaw bone.


Poor zombie Scooby. When I first got him, I felt really bad that someone defaced a Scooby-Doo plush, but it is really cool and I'm happy to have it as part of my collection.

My Scooby Stuff - Item 370 - Captain Cutler Funko POP Figure

Item 370 - Captain Cutler Funko POP Figure


I was one of the lucky ones that was able to get this glow-in-the-dark Captain Cutler Funko POP Figure on June 24th as a Funko shop exclusive. They sold it for $15.00.  My husband was the one that got it for me. I heard it sold out in about 2 minutes and pretty much immediately after there were a ton of listings on eBay for $75.00 plus.

Captain Cutler is a limited edition and has the 50 Years logo on it. He will make a great addition to my collection.


The sides of the box are pretty cool. They have the doodle design on one side and you can see the side of Captain Cutler on the other side.


The back of the box shows the newest POP figures that have been released and the doodle design. The POP Figure is copyright 2019.


Here is a close up of Captain Cutler, still in the box. I haven't taken any of my POP figures out of their boxes at this point. I don't know if I should or not, so for now, they will stay in their boxes.


The top of the box has the top of Captain Cutler's head on it.


The bottom of the box has some warnings on it and the info to contact Funko.


This is the original post I saw from Funko on Twitter that I sent to my hubby in hopes that he would have time to log on and grab one. I wasn't able to do it at work, but he was!!


Here is the post they put up after a few minutes when Captain Cutler was sold out.
