Staycation-The ROM

Look but don’t touch.

Today we ventured out to the museum.  Remember  the dark and dusty  museums of old?  Well things have certainly changed and I would say for the better.  The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) has reinvented itself not only structurally, but it now offers kid friendly  hands-on activities.  We had a chance to touch and feel dinosaur bones, we got to take our picture with a Sony camera while in a dinosaur costume, and my 7 year old got to pet the Disney-like dino-dressed mascot.  We also did some kid-friendly crafts.  Everyone had a good time.  Kids approved and parents recommended.

For those who choose to pack a lunch, instead of the purchasing cafeteria food, there is a nice space provided for you.  If you don’t pack a lunch, they have a nice mix in their Food Studio Cafe.

All in all, if you are looking a good staycation destination here in Toronto, the ROM is a winner.

The Staycation

All work and no play?  No way!

I really enjoy traveling and I mean really.  Searching out new and exciting places to see and experience how other people live.  I’m forever reviewing the sales on sites like Expedia, Travelocity, Southwest, but often I forget that my  own city is a tourist destination.   People pay to come here . I have forgotten that I live in a world-class city.   What’s that saying….Sometimes you can’t see the trees for the forest.  Tomorrow I’m going to find the trees.

Tomorrow I will………….enjoy a staycation.
