Fleetwood

Packed up our stuff from Erin and Vance's and headed out around 11.

We had a couple of stops, but we made it out to the Assembly Hall close to 1. Tom and Sherry were there with Sherry's family and mom and dad had also arrived. We went for a quick tour of the hall. Troi of course got excited about the sound booth. He got talking with a couple of the brothers and managed to get a ticket to the graduation program (he had declined the invitation when it was first offered).

They have renovated the Hall since we attended assemblies there and it is quite beautiful.

Home around 3 to find my sister Sue and my aunt and uncle Jim and Pat waiting for us. Then shortly after we headed to one of my cousins' place for a family dinner. Met two new family members - Camila -7 months old and Sawyer - 6 months old. Had sore muscles the next day from tossing Sawyer around - he's a big baby.

Comfort Inn and Suites, Surrey

Hotel Info:

The hotel is quite 'comfort'able. We had a queen suite, which was a room with a divided sleeping area with TV (divided because the wall doesn't go all the way to the ceiling) and a living area with TV, sofa(bed), chair with ottoman, coffee table, desk and chair, and small kitchen area. Kitchen has a fridge with an amazing large capacity and a microwave and small coffee pot. (the hotel provides pouches of coffee, if you use your own you will need to get basket filters).

Breakfast was very good. For our two mornings there were eggs with bacon and eggs with sausage. Toast, bagels, muffins, waffles, juice, yogurt, etc.

2 towels only provided.

On Sunday we had a large group that wanted to have dinner together. No one had the capacity in either room or home for all of us to eat together. None of us wanted to go to a restaurant and it is difficult to visit with a large group in a noisy restaurant. So we inquired at the front desk and were given permission to use the breakfast room. We had Chinese food delivered and brought our drinks and we had a delightful time. The front desk staff were very helpful and accommodating. In addition, we had asked the restaurant to send plates and cutlery. All that made it was chopsticks. The delivery boy would have gone back to the restaurant to get them but the hotel happily provided enough.

All in all a very nice experience.Read more
