Grand Beach, Winnipeg

We spent Saturday at the beach in Winnipeg because long story short Ryan slid into 3rd 2 weeks ago, the player stepped on his hand with cleats, and fractured the bone that connects his ring finger to his palm. Tough luck is pretty much what we said. So with that being the prime of our problems, he's out for 4 weeks and got to stay home when the team went on the road this weekend.

The whole time we've been here, I've only heard about how wonderful Grand Beach is and that it is world renown for it's sand. We went, and I hate to break it to every Canadian I've spoken to, but it's really not that great. Unfortunately, we went on Saturday so it was PACKED. But the weather was great, and the water wasn't unbearably cold for once. We're used to the freezers of the California Pacific. Let me just mention that the road to the beach (which was supposedly a highway) was dirt. Literally, dirt people.



But for a day off with my boo (we don't get many), our little packed lunches + laying on the beach for 2 hours = one heck of a good day.
