We are staying at the most beautiful house- they call it a house, we call it a resort! Adam says he even feels guilty being here becuase it is so nice. We are staying at the Ronald McDonald House, which is just about a 2 minute walk from the hospital (about 10 minutes for slow-sio). We have a beautiful room with a view of the CN Tower. It is pretty much a beautiful hotel room, with enough room for 4 to sleep, a little lounge area and a huge tv. Beyond our room, the House has everything- a gym, beautiful library, great common area, a school games room, movie theatre, laundry and the most amazing kitchen you've seen! There are 6 kitchens that all look like their own TV set! 8 or so families share each kitchen space. Ace Bakery delivers bread in the morning, milk is delievered to each family and volunteers come to make dinner a couple nights a week. Jealous yet? Here are some photos:
It's just beautiful. They've done such a good job of creating a space that lets your mind relax before the next trip back to the hospital. I know most of you are wondering the same thing, "Do we get all the Big Macs and French Fries we want?" Not exactly. We havent seen any McDonalds food yet, the volunteers say that when food is sent for community dinner its much more than fast food, but we havent caught a family dinner yet. Lots of Mcdonalds coffee and tea and even some baked goods. We aren't without, that is forsure!
We are so thankful to have this place to call our own for a little while.
