So for the August long weekend my mother planned an epic family trip. We were heading to Gimli & Winnipeg, Manitoba. We were to spend the weekend exploring a few places, and seeing the sights around Gimli. The trip started out after my night at the Yorkton Rough Stock Rodeo. Then it was up bright and early and on the road to Gimli, Manitoba. On the way we seen a few interesting sights, including Riding Mountain Park [which was more a mountain than I remembered], and Lake Manitboa. Exploring the Parks Route, and the Northern Woods & Lakes route was amazing. Coming into the Interlake Lake, Inland Oceans was amazing, and a complete hidden gem. I enjoyed every minute driving through. Our first stop in Winnipeg was at the Aviation museum. It is definitely a stop that one should make while visiting the great city. It is in a quiet little place off in its own corner of the Winnipeg airport. Definitely worth the stop because there is so much Canadian Aviation history that is not known about. It is absolutely amazing what can be found in the Aviation Museum. Everything from different planes, how they work, to a very special collection of postal envelopes that include on signed by Orville Wright. Canada also has in its interesting aviation history a flying canoe! Then it was back to Gimli to explore the harbour after our time in Winnipeg. The harbour looked amazing, especially since there was a magical rainbow to greet us. The boats were all amazing, and there was even a coast guard there! Apparently, Lake Winnipeg is big enough to warrant the use of one. It was crazy to see the harbour, and all it had to offer. Not something you really expect to see in the middle of the prairies. But definitely worth the stop! The next day it was off to the Royal Canadian Mint & Winnipeg Art Gallery. Both were amazing time, and definitely worth the stop. The mint was a lot cheaper than what I thought it would be, and the tour guides were amazing. It was so cool to learn all the finer points about how our money is made. The Winnipeg Art Gallery was also amazing with its exhibition of 100 Masters in Canada Only. It was amazing to see these pieces, and truly inspiring. I loved the gallery. Then our last stop was a stop on the windiest corner in Canada. All in all, another great day in Winnipeg. Then after getting back to the campsite it was off to exploring around the Yurt. We were at Camp Morton, and it was an amazing old bible camp. So rich in history, and the lakeside views were also gorgeous. I enjoyed every moment I spent exploring that evening.
