Double Tree Fun

I was doing some work in Toronto at some wonderful math summer camps with TDSB this summer. It was getting close to the end of summer holidays and for the last week in August I was travelling to Virginia, ThinkFun Headquarters for work.
I decided I needed to spend some quality time with the kids before school began. So I brought them to Toronto and we stayed at this Doubletree hotel. The kids thought this was a real treat, they loved staying in a hotel. The wonderful, unexpected thing was when we had arrived, they give you these huge, warm, yummy cookies as a welcome. This was an appreciated surprise as we had been on the road for a couple of hours to get there. A great beginning!
The reason I picked this hotel, besides that it was only 10 minutes away from the school we were going to the next day, was it had these great slides. The kids loved swimming in the pool and the hot tub.


That night we also rented a movie in our room, (from 10 pm to midnight), but hey, we were on "holiday"! This hotel was in a nice location because we could just walk to the restaurants for dinner.
It was a nice little get-a-way before I had to travel. The only unfortunate thing is Chris had to work, so he had to stay at home. But we had fun and the kids got to see the math fair that the summer camp was presenting. Fun had by all!
