Winnipeg...up close and personal.

Matt and Shannon at "The Pavilion""Matthew of the Jungle" (as opposed to George)

The Legislative Building - Winnipeg.


The rising of "The Red River"


Higher!!!


The eating of the "cheesecakes" in the Hilton.


It was a good, quick trip to see son in Winnipeg. It was a bit of a family gathering and we did some things together. It's what families do.:-)


We visited "The Forks" for an afternoon. Drove through downtown Winnipeg where next trip I will have a walking tour instead of the scenic drive through. Taking pictures while driving can be a bit of a challenge.


We went to "The Pavilion" in Assiniboine Park where I gloried in the shrubs and flowers and where it rained inside!
We ate at various restaurants, swam in the Hilton pool, ate some more, worshipped with Matt at his home church, Faith Covenant and just hung out together.
This morning, Matt went his way....to work, and we went our way....back home.
A short weekend. A long drive.
It was worth being with our son, even if it was for a short visit.
