I was very fortunate to be able to go to Edmonton recently for a joint birthday party/ anniversary present. We got a couple people together to drive out there for a couple of days, go to the mall, the water park and some local bars. The drive was long, and tiring. By the time I got there I was ready for nothing more than a nap. However, I managed to power through. We were staying at the Ramada, and for some reason we were given an handicapable suite. The bathroom was large and there was a lot of added equipment, but it was still nice. We were trying to decide where to go for supper, and ended up choosing a random restaurant that was very close (but for some reason we cabbed to anyway!) and it was TERRIBLE. The service was horrible, and the food was disgusting! That's what we get for taking dinner suggestions from billboards.
The next day we went to the waterpark and checked into our executive suite at the Fantasy land hotel (we had a jacuzzi tub!). We spend the whole day shopping and swimming. This made me realize that I am not a shopper (nor is David). For going to the worlds largest mall, and walking around it for hours on end. Dave and I managed to purchase a 12V cord for our keyboard at home, and a puzzle...
That night we went to a local bar. It was crazy in there. It was circus themed. There was girls on swings and dancing on different stages, there was fire dancers, and it looked like Egypt. I would have had lots of fun if I hadn't been so overwhelmed by the plethora of things to see all around me. Plus, I was getting a little creeped out because one of the girls on the swings kept looking at me, waving and winking...
The next morning we went to see Sucker Punch at the IMAX theatre. It was really weird, but visually appealing. Not a movie I would see more than once. Those multiple reality movies are really common lately. But, not bad.
All in all, i would say it was a good trip. It would have been nice to stay for longer, because by the time I was done being tired from the drive there, it was time to travel home.
