Back from vacation

We are back from a vacation up north in Canada. We flew into Winnipeg and had a guided tour of the city our first day there. That evening we met Derek who was our guide for the next 8 days. We rode a bus to Riding Mountain National Park where we spent 3 nights at Elkhorn Resort. We visited Wasagaming and Parks Canada Visitor Centre to learn more about the area wildlife. The next two days we did wildlife drives to view elk, bison, moose and black bears. What amazing scenery and we had some wonderful weather. One evening we had a sunset cruise on Clear Lake. The colors were gorgeous. Then it was back to Winnipeg to catch a plane to Churchill where we were for 4 nights. We spent 2 days on a Tundra Buggy looking at the polar bears, caribou and ptarmigans. We also toured the area around Churchill, saw the Northern Lights, got a glimpse inside the polar bear jail, and visited the Eskimo museum. Then back to Winnipeg for a farewell dinner and home the next day. A wonderful vacation!!
Back home I am working diligently on my daughter's wedding dress. I hope to have the top done by next week.
