The family had a great time at the Fort La Reine Museum in Portage La Prairie.
Some highlights apart from the terrific tour included the ginger ale making (at the museum), and checking out some other sites in town including the largest Coke can statue (which I’m not sure why exists, by the way), and visiting the one and only Indian buffet in town, because, of course we had to do that.
We’ll be back.

Exploring Manitoba over the next little stretch before summer ends. Let’s see how many cool little rural museums and waterparks we can cram into the next few weeks.
Even after three or four sneezes most people won’t say “bless you” for fear of causing embarrassment or offending, or whatever it might be.
Instead, everyone just internally says “ENOUGH WITH THE SNEEZING ALREADY.”
Myself included.
I don’t think I’d want to eat this mess in my home let alone in the stands at a football game, but to each their own.
