June 20 Fathers Day and a trip to Gimli


We had to go north of Winnipeg on Fathers Day and I had a Mystery Shop that needed to get done in Gimli, so we combined the two.
This shop had a bit of flexibility in dates. I had a few days to choose from, so I took advantage of a trip we were already taking along Hwy #9. We left early in the day and went up to Gimli for the shop. We got a few pictures while in Gimli. There is a Viking statue located in a park along the water. There is also a plane mounted on a pillar, and a cute fountain with frogs spitting water.
While in town, we looked up an old friend and had a visit. Then we were headed back down the Hwy for a Fathers Day BBQ, and then home.
It's nice when we can combine personal visits with the Mystery Shops.



Travels in Manitoba during the month of April


To do this properly I am going to have to back track a bit. I have already done some travelling since beginning my Mystery Shopping career back in February of this year.
The first trip I took was April 11-12. I started off going to Gimli, Manitoba and staying overnight at Winnipeg Beach. The next day I went on to Grandview and Gilbert Plains. I took the scenic route over the narrows.
The next stop was Neepawa. I was there the day after a murder took place in that small town. The police were still parked around the "crime scene" and police tape was surrounding the house.

After Neepawa, I went to Portage La Prairie, then back home.
The next day I was back out. I went back to Neepawa to grab another Mystery Shop. Then I stopped off in Portage La Prairie again for a few more shops.
To round off the month of April I took two more small trips. The first was on the 18th when I went back to Portage La Prairie. The second was to the town of St. Laurent.
