Do you know what I just did? I just sat down with my calendar, my laptop and my phone and made SEVEN hotel reservations! Seven people…and I’m not done!
My oldest daughter made a fabulous competitive Cheerleading Team, and my youngest is on the sweetest competitive Dance Team. Both teams travel. Do you want to know the real definition of competitive? Expensive. These experiences on our horizon are going to be incredible for my girls, horrid for my bank balance. Thanks to dance, cheer and my trusty credit card, we are going to see the world! Okay not the world, but a whole heck of a lot of South Western Ontario with a few places in the States thrown in to keep it fresh.
Already I know I will become very familiar with the interior of my car, and find myself some favourite hotel rooms along the way. Want to see the one hotel stay I am already looking forward to?
Collingwood! I’ve never been. Have you?
Another view, showing this section of the resort that I seem to keep getting drawn back to is the Westin Trillium House, Blue Mountain. Doesn’t look like a bad place to kick back with my girls and watch the world go by! How beautiful is this? Stroll in the village anyone?
The list of activities available at this resort is truly mind-boggling! Hiking, golf, skiing, rope climbing, Segway tours, gondola rides, bikes and so much more. I’m starting to think I’m going to need more than three days to explore everything there is to do and see!
Now I don’t ski; but I do hot chocolate and hot tub. I’m sure I can fill the “non” dance hours with that! Big old reality check. I know not all the hotels on the cheer and dance circuit will be as glamorous and fun as this, but for now, a girl can dream right?
This also has me thinking. Where is the best place you have been “dragged” to courtesy of one of your children?
PS Not a sponsored post, just a girl ranting about filling up her credit card. How To Survive Cheer and Dance Competition Posts are sure to follow.
When I was younger, I was on a competitive team that travelled. It was VERY expensive but if she’s really good maybe you can get some sponsors? Gear places really love to get their name out there by them wearing tshirts at the comps and stuff.
I’ve been there! You’ll love it!
I thought you were posting pictures from Northern Europe.
I would love to take this trip but it sounds really expensive.
Yup! went here with work and stayed at the Westin Trillium actually! By the way.. I know the $$ are adding up but if you get the chance to visit the Scandanavia spa in collingwood… while it’s snowing.. DO IT!
We’re a family addicted to travel too ( nearly one year old bub has been to 11 cities so far!). If you’d like to follow our journey.. checkout http://www.babyandlife.com/travel
What a great experience for anyone, let alone a young girl. It looks like a great place to visit! So excited for you and the family. I know it’s hard on the wallet, but think about all the experiences you will all gain from it! Priceless!
Can I come? It looks like an amazing place to visit. Hope I can go there someday. Have fun. How exciting for your girls being in dance and cheer.
Those are some lovely pictures
That resort looks amazing…unlike all the dive hotels we stayed in during travel ball!!! Have fun Mama!
