Do we need a road map?


This is the start of our little road trip to Wainwright, Alberta. (http://www.town.wainwright.ab.ca/index.html ) We decided to go away for the day like we used to a long time ago. Okay not so long ago but somedays it seems that way. Long before we moved to Cold Lake we would take small day trips just to get away for a bit. It had been a long time since we have done this so yesterday we decided to just up and go with Rocco. In the above photo is a weigh scale just west of Bonnyville ( http://www.town.bonnyville.ab.ca/ ) Just because we can we stop by the weigh scale to see how much the car weighs and in this case it is about 1250kgs

We went to Wainwright to visit Darla Lachance. I met her at the store reno in St. Albert this past 3 months. It was somewhere we have NEVER been before or even knew where it was or even really how to get there. Hence the title of the blog. I guess it is to be about 2 hours or so to get there but as usual it has taken us way longer.

We stopped to take pictures with our new camera ( sony cybershot-dscw80) It is a great new little camera that we have been having fun playing with these days. We stopped at Elkpoint ( http://www.shop-alberta.com/elk-point.htm) They have a huge wooden statue that we took pics at but at this moment I am having issues with the site to get them posted here.

The scenery from Cold Lake to Wainwright was beautiful. Once I get the photo up on the blog site you'll see what I mean. Stopped in Vermilion (http://www.town.vermilion.ab.ca/) as we headed south. Once in Wainwright we toured the town and in all truth be told we quite surprized. They have a cool town clock in the middle of the street and at the end of the main street is a train station. We went out to the base there to see it. For a little Army base it was nice. The new PMQs are awesome too bad they are not building them here too.

All in all the trip was fun. Looking forward to going on more day trips to other places in Alberta.
