It's funny... the hotel that we are staying at is the same chain that we stayed at in Parry Sound. Amazing how much better a room can be when you pay a little extra.
Our living room (not pictured is the fireplace and kitchenette).
The bedroom.
The bathroom.
I happened to look out of the window yesterday and saw hundreds of 'shit hawks' flying around.
"Gulls (often informally called
seagulls) are
birds in the
family Laridae. They are most closely related to the
terns (family Sternidae) and only distantly related to
auks,
skimmers, and more distantly to the
waders. Until recently
[vague], most gulls were placed in the
genus Larus, but this arrangement is now known to be
polyphyletic, leading to the resurrection of several
genera.

The pictures are of poor quality as they were taken through a double panned, glazed window. It was pretty cool to see all the birds flying around!!! I immediately thought of my new blogger friend Kim
(The Curious Birder). She's got some great pics of birds and really knows her stuff.... make sure to check out her blog (she's also a runner!!!!).
This trip to Sudbury it mainly a business trip, but we are going to try to squeeze in a little tour. I'd like to go to the Art and Nickle museums. For those who may not know, Sudbury, Ontario is the home of the Big Nickel. I'll be able to check that large roadside attraction off my list!!!
"The
Big Nickel is a nine-metre (30 ft) replica of a 1951
Canadian nickel, located at the grounds of
Dynamic Earth in
Sudbury,
Ontario, Canada. It is listed in the
Guinness Book of Records, as the world's largest
coin.
[citation needed] The twelve-sided nickel is located on a small hill overlooking the intersection of
Municipal Road 55 and Big Nickel Drive at the westernmost end of the
Gatchell neighbourhood.
The Big Nickel celebrated its 45
th anniversary on July 22, 2009 with a "birthday party" on the grounds of Dynamic Earth, including a display of coins from
Science North's Inco Coin Collection.

Hey there Stacey thanks for the mention, love your gull pics and love the reference to "shit hawks", LOL!!!
Your hotel looks fabulous and the bathroom looks like the type of bathroom I could spend hours in soaking in the tub.
You're welcome... your blog is fun to read!
