Phase 4 of our Jet Set April took us to Winnipeg for Easter long weekend to see Shauna's family and friends. Flight times proved beneficial in maximizing our stay; 4 full days. I took Tannah to Mom's place after work on Wednesday because I knew I'd be pressed for time. Our flight left at around 8 pm and with the 2 hour time change I think we were in bed in Winnipeg by 1:30 a.m.
Needless to say, we slept in on Friday morning, then went to The Forks for awhile. Since it was Good Friday, almost everything in Winnipeg was closed for a stat holiday. I'd almost forgotten what that feels like; in the Vancouver area it seems everything's open all the time. It's been that way for years. That evening we attended a play called "John". And to tell you hardly anything about the play, one of the lines was "Everyone knows a John." That's likely true, at least in North America and probably Europe.
Saturday morning we met Michele for breakfast at Clementine's in the Exchange District followed by a trip to her apartment to meet her new spaniel, Finley (!).

Saturday evening Shauna had gotten us "Whiteout" tickets for the arena to watch Game 6 of the Jets/Blues series; an away game, but it was a good opportunity to be a part of a Jets playoff series. Unfortunately it was to be the end of the line this season for the Jets. But at least we came away with souvenir White-out towels.

| Golf, Jets, Golf! |

Anybody who is anybody was there for the White-out; even Princess Leah,
danishes and all. |
Jim and Marlene even attracted the attention of the roving CTV sports news crew after the game. It must have been those new jerseys; they looked like hardcore seasons tickets fans.

Somewhere on the cutting room floor...alas we did not see them on the 11:30
sports review that night. |
