So we woke up this morning and headed into Regina. We had two stops planned before we headed to Moose Jaw where we were going to go in the Hot Springs. Our first stop was the Prairie Museum. Unfortunately this was in the process of being moved to another location, therefore it was closed. So we headed to the second museum which was the Royal Saskatchewan Museum. That was really awesome.
This museum is by donation and is totally worth whatever you decide to pay because it was very interesting! Although it was mostly geared towards younger kids (I think) it was really fun and had some interesting facts and displays. Lot of information. We could have spent a couple hours just walking around their three different areas. We did probably spend about two hours there and learned a lot. Mostly about the dinosaurs and the land as well as the Native people who used to live in Saskatchewan. It was a museum (clearly) all about Saskatchewan!
After the museum we headed to Moose Jaw. This is a city which was apparently headquarters to Al Capo at one time. Although this is just a rumor it is possible, as there are lots of underground tunnels heading not only through the city, but also into America. So we parked the car and walked around. The original plan was to go to a spa which had mineral water specialized from this area. But we decided it wouldn't be worth it and instead drove around town for a bit. It was cool to see all the different buildings and tourist attractions. Although all-in-all Moose Jaw is pretty small and there was not too much there, still it was fun to walk around.
After Moose Jaw we headed North to Saskatoon. This was a fairly long drive with really not too much happening. So when we finally got to Saskatoon at around 4 we decided to keep going to Cold Lake that night. It was only a couple more hours and we both decided there was not much we wanted to do in Saskatoon. Although I am sure it is quiet lovely.
So we stopped for some Timmies and gas and kept driving. This drive was really nice! After a lot of flat land, we finally got lots of trees and some hills. Northern Saskatchewan was very pretty and not too busy. One part of the drive we saw A LOT more deer than other cars. We stopped once in a small town to get some gas (And I mean tiny town!). Then we kept driving. Finally we crossed into Alberta, listening to Alberta Bound by Paul Brandt. And we kept seeing deer, seriously I have never seen so many of them. Everywhere we looked it was more. On both sides of the road, crossing the road, in the distance, everywhere!
We got to Cold Lake fairly late, but drove to Joel's aunt and uncle's house and met everyone. We got there and Joel's aunt made us grilled cheese for dinner as well as tea. It was pretty nice! We then brought us stuff in and got nice and warm in a real bed again! And we get this bed for the next couple nights! Lucky us :)
