Maritimes - Day 34

We finally made it back to the prairies today, ending our very long driving day in Winnipeg.  After spending the last month elsewhere, it was interesting to see the flat land with new eyes, so to speak.  The massive amount of sky visible was actually a bit breathtaking after a month of trees and rocks, as was the sheer distance you could see.

There wasn't much interesting done today - just another long driving day, though I found this day a bit more frustrating, as the traffic was constantly a bit slower than I wanted to drive, and there was a bunch of construction early on that made the trip start off slow.  We pushed all the way to Kenora before stopping for lunch, which meant it was 2:30pm (for us - 1:30pm local) when we finally ate.  Right before Kenora we encountered a short but heavy rain storm that made driving icky, but the rest of the trip was fairly uneventful.

We went back to the same hotel in Winnipeg that we started our trip at, since it had a pool and waterslide that the kids liked, so Sandra figured they would enjoy one last pool trip before we leave the hotels behind, and they had a lot of fun.

Tomorrow morning we are going to try and get in our missed mint tour, do some LEGO shopping and then head out to visit Jen & Craig for the rest of the weekend.
