For those of you who don't know, Winnipeg is in the flat prairies on a river that floods every spring. It's miserably cold in the winter and ridiculously hot in the summer - no one's version of a fun place to go for a holiday. But when people you love live there, you suck it up and go visit them.
Hopefully I'll find the beauty of the city on this trip and will post some lovely pictures when I get home. Check out this video (an old Fountain Tire commercial) for the correct attitude on "going to Winnipeg".
Going to Winnipeg
As you can see, not everyone's idea of a fun vacation stop. I'll enjoy myself anyway.

Have a wonderful visit! I'm sure the people will make up the difference in the countryside. Enjoy!
Winnipeg is a great city to come from. I came from there, never went back.... too many mosquitos in the summer, too cold in the winter, but some great Lakes nearby. Enjoy!
I learn something new everyday. All towns have their quirks. Winnipeg sounds like an interesting place. Have a wonderful visit with your family. ENJOY.
Enjoy your little break, and we look forward to seeing you when you get back.

Have a good trip mum
That was a cute commercial that I'm sure 'winterpeggers' don't like!!
I actually have pretty fond memories of Winnipeg as my Grandmother and Uncles used to live there. I loved visiting them!
Do enjoy your visit with Wendy and hopefully maybe your Mom will have a few lucid moments for you. That could be the hard part.
About the only thing I learned in college was how to play one song on guitar, "The Winnipeg Whore". That is the extent of my knowledge of Winnipeg.
Too funny hence the name Winterpeg
As us in Alberta have named Winnipeg
Have a safe trip.....see you when you return.

Glad to hear your calendar arrived and that you like it! I finally figured out my comment problem, and can now (I think) leave comments when I couldn't before.
