Girls weekend

In July I went on a girls weekend in Toronto with Katharine and Christy.  We stayed in a massive suite at the Royal York.  It was so big that we laughed hysterically about it for a good 10 minutes.  Mike had a coupon for a free night in a suite, which is why we went so crazy.  


The picture below shows Katharine in her "sleeping area".  After a big hassle with the concierge we were able to convince them to send us 2 cots so we all had our own beds.   I took the bed in the bedroom at K and C's insistence, Katharine set up shop behind the dining table, and Christy's area was in front of the fireplace.  So many places to choose from.  Also there were 18 places to sit.


Since we were in a lovely hotel we made use of the amenities and went for a swim and hot tub before getting ready for dinner.

It was while we were at an incredible Indian restaurant that I started to lose my voice.  It was after we went to the Irish Embassy for a beer afterwards, that I completely lost it.  Both places were super loud and I guess my vocal chords just couldn't handle shouting.  I had barely any voice for days afterward. Brutal.

The next day we went for a buffet breakfast of course and then changed into our theatre attire, and headed up to Queen Street for pedicures followed by a small lunch.


Then it was off to see "Kinky Boots"! A very high energy musical which was great as I barely slept the night before.  Also great that one is expected to remain quiet during a theatre production.  Easy Peasy.


It was decided we need to do this again next year. We can hardly wait!!
