Our Holiday

Gay and I have returned from our trip to the Carriage Hills Resort (near Barrie, Ontario).   The location was beautiful; and, although some of the leaves had already fallen - there were some incredible views and colours, especially from the tops of the many many hills.





Our suite had everything you could want - including size.  (I think it was bigger than our house!) 


The Carriage House had a mini-gym, games room, and an indoor / outdoor swimming pool.  With plastic sheeting between the inside and outside, you could swim through and be swimming in the cool and rain of the outdoors.  On the colder days, there was a nice fog over the water outside!
There was a hot tub indoors and another one outside - just a little chilly on the toes walking from the outdoor pool to the hot tub, but very very nice. 

The weather forecast was easy:  Rain.
To be honest, there were occasional breaks in the rain - just threatening rain.   There were some gale force winds as well, just to make things interesting.
As always, though, Gay and I made the best of it and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.
