Day One: Staycation with Gloria & Grace

Need a vacation!?! Why not have a Staycation?

We (Gloria & Grace) have decided to spend a relaxing vacation in Toronto.
We will be sharing pics of our Staycation as we go along.
Hope you enjoy and get a laugh from seeing how we spend our time together.
 We plan to have an enjoyable fun-filled stress-free Staycation
visiting a few of the many attractions Toronto has to offer.

Tuesday, August 20th . . . of course, we couldn't start our Staycation without Starbucks coffee!
 

We began our adventure at the Holiday Inn - Yorkville on Bloor Street West.
Grace was in charge of the room key.
 

The hotel washroom was cozy and really nice.


The view, from our 8th floor room, was really awesome.

The room was warm and inviting with double beds and a flat screen . . . two floor length mirrors . . . dining area . . . iron & ironing board . . . closet . . . central air . . . and lots of fluffy towels . . . felt just like home.
 
We didn't drink this expensive bottle of water . . . $3.50 Canadian . . . lol.
 
There was Coffee, Tea & coffee maker . . . courtesy of hotel.

It was time to test the mattresses . . . oops! The carpet was nice too.


Grace looked like a million bucks . . . on our way to dinner.


Cute little girl in big green chair.
Dinner at the Duke of York. Excellent service and delicious food.


Off to the ROM . . . ouch! my arm  . . . didn't know that door closes so fast . . .
