I had a conference to go to in Toronto, and decided to bring the whole family! As amazing as 2 nights of uninterrupted sleep in a hotel bed would have been, it was fun to have the kids there.
We stayed in the brand new Hotel X, right on the CNE grounds. We stayed there the first night it was open. It is definitely the fanciest hotel I've ever stayed in, and the customer service was "uncomfortably good".
The kids were in vehicle watching heaven, with Lakeshore blvd, the Gardiner Expressway and the Island Airport right out the window. They could have spent hours at that window, yelling "truck", "airplane", "truck" on repeat. The hotel was also a part of the "library collection", so they had hundreds of books in the lobby for guests to borrow, including tons of kids books. Jasper was in heaven!
While I was at the conference, Pat took the kids to the aquarium. Uncle Colin took the GO train down to hang out for the day.
The hotel had a wine and cheese reception every evening from 5-7pm that had enough food to count as the kids' dinner. Once we put them to bed at 7, we had to hang out in the bathroom watching Netflix. Good thing it was such as fancy bathroom!
The next day, Pat took the kids to nearby Fort York and out to a pub for lunch.
He walked the kids all the way up to Kensington Market during nap to re-stock on vegetarian beef jerky.
On Friday, Pat took the kids up to visit Grandma Beaton and then after the conference finished, we went out to Bowmanville to see Aunt Heather's new place. Pictured below is Jasper pretending to be a cat with Heather's couch blanket.
