We rented a car and decided to take some day trips for our last couple of days in Winnipeg….

Lower Fort Garry National Site


Lisa checks out the old buildings

After the fort, we made the one hour drive north to Grand Beach Provincial Park

Set on the shores of Lake Winnipeg

This is actually one of the most popular beaches in North America

Next stop... Winnipeg Beach and their cool boardwalk


Pickerel (walleye) fish and chips

Lisa gives the thumbs-up

Gimli, a community rich in Icelandic heritage

Celebrating Viking roots


And after a full day of touring, we retire to this peaceful room in the middle of nowhere

This is Prarie Blessings B&B

The attention to detail and extra touches make this place worth the extra drive
