Home stretch #1

Day eight, Dec 20 (Wed.) - Sault Ste Maire, ON to Sudbury, ON - 307 km
Stop and visit Science North - http://sciencenorth.on.ca/science-north.html

We are nearing Deep River, with one short leg tomorrow.

First, last night was had a few incidents. We got to Sault Ste Marie, and checked into the Best Western. Larissa was specific about needing a room with 2 queen beds, internet access, and Treehouse on TV. When we got settled, and orderd dinner from a local Chinese restaurant, we realized the internet connection wasn't working. We called the front desk and were told that we could move to a room with 2 doubles, and the internet would work there. After Larissa got through to the General Manager, she was more than willing to suggest other options. We were happily moved to a family suite with a separate room for the kids with bunk beds! And a king sized bed for mom and dad.

Our drive today was short as well - we made it to Sudbury, and had a quick exploration of Science North. The kids had fun - you could spend a lot of time there - tons of stuff. Hope got to hold a Giant African snail, and the kids got to pet a huge African millipede as well. The kids played dress up, and there was a whole butterfly room as well.
