Le Scandinave

1) Trillium Westin House


(sigh)

The Easter break saw G and I heading the 2 hours north to Collingwood and the Village of Blue in Blue Mountain for a (sigh) wonderful getaway.

We stayed at the Westin Trillium House Resort. The break was made even better by weather that was simply outrageous for the first days of April in Ontario. On Friday, the temperature at Blue was 29°C. Needless to say, folks were mobbing the pool and the skiers (and yes there was still snow on the hills) were out in t-shirts and shorts skiing.

Truly bizarre but truly welcomed. On Saturday the temperature soared back up to 27°C and while Sunday cooled down to 23°C … who the hell was complaining!

    What a beautiful resort area. I’ll have to keep that in mind as a future getaway on one of our trips to North America.

    Nice little recreation village. You really have to magnify much larger in order to see that blackbird!
