We all traveled with John while he attended a conference in St. Catherines, located a few hours away from Toronto. It was such a great long weekend. The kids and I just played, drove/rode in the car, played, shopped, and played some more. John was able to join us for a good portion of our fun, so that was an added bonus!
The best part of St. Catherines, in Helena's eyes, was definitely the carousel. It's an old carousel that continues to cost five cents per ride. Helena rode nine times with Benjamin's rides totaling four.
The best part of the hotel for Helena - either the pool or the TV. Helena doesn't watch much at home, but we let her watch a good bit while at the hotel. As you can tell, she was enthralled.
The shopping wasn't their favorite, but the kids loved riding in shopping carts together.

Picnics at the parks were some of my favorite moments of the trip.
Enjoying the natural beauty and all the grass was wonderful.
It was fun to just have time together, away from all our responsibilities.
Helena was absolutely zonked on the last day. We carried her into the mall to the food court and ate lunch, then carried her back to the car and strapped her in, all while she was sound asleep.

So fun! And great pictures and that first one of Helena is a WINNER!
The pictures tell the story! Looks like a very special time. And I agree, the first one of Helena is precious. And I like the one of John and Benjamin at the park.
Looks like a wonderful get away!
