 Today is our sixth anniversary She's been putting up with me for six years. So we're here in Winnipeg We dropped off the little guy at his Nana's house We didn't quite know what we were gonna do today, but we figured we come to the forks at the forks here is the Canadian Museum of Human Rights We haven't been inside there yet, and they made a big deal of it when they built it a few years ago So we figured we go check out what all the fuss was about. It's supposed to be really nice in there The weather was supposed to be a little bit nicer, too It wasn't supposed to be quite so chilly windy and gloomy So we thought we were gonna do a river walk or a river boat ride, but it's way too cold Yeah, it's getting a little cold leaves are falling here already Summer's over indoor activities again Yep So we'll check this out and if we still have time once we're done that we'll just walk over to the forks Which is just a little bit Down that way yet in the same lot. I have my GoPro here, but I'll apologize in advance for the audio I have the GoPro here, but I Didn't bring the SD card in there So you kind of need that so we'll be filming on our phones today It's always something it's always something, but at least we have these cameras so we can Create these memories together today and put it together for you later Here's to six more Six and then six after that 66 more 66 more. That's a much better And then we'll go back to our contract We'll reevaluate after 66 years Okay, let's go inside see what this is all about This is it This thing took them quite a while to build and of course in true Winnipeg spirit It went way over budget and took way longer than they said it would That's actually a pretty pretty big museum. It's a national national museum It's right downtown. I Think she might have Oh, we got a pay to park here. It's a lot bigger when you get close to it They could have used this area for some kind of display too It's just gravel. So we just came around from the other side over there We went through this room over here and we came out here. We're slowly making our way up Still both kind of surprised at the plainness of it Wide open walls. I mean that you put a beautiful artwork piece right there Yeah, there's so much room just empty and there's that gravel see we're standing just on the other side of this thing before And it goes down to there. I mean, it's big and it's interesting and you got all these walkways, right? That intersect and go all the way up there. That's pretty cool, right? but really lost opportunity for Lot of artwork like over here. This is the room. We just came out of This is very interesting Still very wide open but Each little booth there has a different story to tell and then you have that centerpiece there. I'm not sure what it's for It's definitely interesting. I've always wondered what's been in here This building looks very Interesting fascinating from the outside. So I always did want to come inside. I just thought that it would be a Little I guess I was thinking over-the-top extravagant and it's sort of just Me so very interesting I've heard that from other people before too like it's worth coming to see once it's kind of expensive, but And they got to pay for all of this somehow. I'm sure it's very expensive to maintain all of this and it's not very busy in here It's a Saturday afternoon when they would you think they'd have the most traffic Very quiet very quiet so We have found ourselves in this Contemplation garden. Is that what it's called? Oh I was just gonna call it a garden. I Be nice. I Mean you get beautiful areas like this Which is amazing Maybe they will over the years go further with more artwork and does your garden have elevators Arstas That's beautiful. Wow. This is where it opens up to the top. I guess the elevator takes you way up to the top of that Spire. Oh, maybe we should go and check that out. Yeah Let's go see what's at the top We're on level four, I believe That's coming down to get us to take us to the top Like it is dead in here It is nice. Yeah, remember when we went to the museum when Theo was born? Yeah, 20 days after something so busy It was like overwhelming Oh, that's fun All the way to the top that seems at the top You don't like heights Me neither really but as long as I'm in an enclosed elevator Some people in our government and across Our country need to read everyone has a right to freedom of opinion and expression This includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media Regardless of frontiers This power confers great responsibility on all who work in media And on each of us as individuals listen and read and watch Something that seems to be forgotten in some areas It's good that they have this on display So people can be reminded it was a museum Well, it takes I sort of like walking through Ikea This is long maze and you get to the end you got to walk all the way back could have taken the elevator I don't like heights either. Yeah, as long as I'm like in a box even if it's a glass box. I'm okay usually But I mean my opinion on it is it's it's worth coming to see once I don't think I would want to pay to come back again They could have done so much more. I don't want to sound like I'm criticizing it because It's more than we could have done more than we could have done It was it's a beautiful building beautiful inside But I found a lot of empty space that I wasn't really expecting You know buildings extravagant buildings like this that were built in the past, you know Would have just amazing stone carving and artwork on every building This only seemed like to have a lot of empty wasted space, but if it's weren't Functioning right now because it looks like they may have had water damage or something There were big bands blowing and like sectioned off pieces Some guys one of the museum workers told us to go get a free voucher to come back and we're like, no, we're good Yeah, maybe that's why maybe they took all the artwork down Because they had major water damage I don't think that would be the case, but I don't know That was that was a lot I mean for the all the hype that Winnipeg did For this building like it's been big like it's been a huge hype And it took forever to forever to build they went over budget everything We thought it was just going to be over the topics trafficking and I guess maybe I had my expectations set pretty high and it was a little bit underwhelming but The best part was that you were there Six years Maybe something to do. It was very very interesting something different. Mm-hmm Are we walking to the forkster? Yeah, because it looks like there isn't going to be a lot of parking There's a lot of cars. We're gonna go see if the Christmas store still exists I hope So this is the forks in Winnipeg that refers to the forks in the river or the fork in the river between the incentive one river and the red river It's a special meeting place open to everyone. It's a historic meeting place Now sort of like a little uh Winnipeg cultural space, I guess Oh and we walked because we thought there'd be no parking I need the exercise It's good for you Looks like it's own little community in here An old trading center It's inside Johnson terminal. So they took the old buildings And so it converted them into Sort of like a little mini mall Actually, I haven't been here in a long time I thought I heard that it was still open somewhere. Maybe they just moved So we're in Kite and Kaboodle Well toy store And we're looking for the Christmas store. So I googled it why we couldn't find it Googled it and it says shop lifting causing Christmas store at the forks to close and that was in 2014 already It's not too bad. It's one of the original shops And it was open year-round Just for people I guess Christmas nuts finding anything I love this monster pillow I was just showing them the Results of our search that the Christmas store is closed. That's cool. Look at those little shades for him paw patrol I love these plasma cars. He is definitely getting one of those once he's big enough. Those are fun They're so much fun. Did they make one big enough for me too? Wish I could fit on that next stop Carnival It's a brazilian barbecue Restaurant downtown here right on the water Lots of parking available today. Winnipeg is very quiet today for a Saturday Usually these places are just hopping Four dollars per hour. What are we gonna get two three hours? So the red river goes right behind there And the Asiniboian river meets it right over there. So the forks is just Over behind those buildings over there So we're not too far away from where we were River is right there and here This carnival. Oh, that looks good Oh Have any of you been to this restaurant? I believe they are in other cities as well So it's an all-you-can-eat meat buffet pretty much They cook it right beside us right here And they bring it over here one bit at a time if we want more we turn this over But right now we're pretty full So we turn that red but as soon as we turn that over it'd be green and they'd bring us more The beef Yeah, I got beef. They got lamb Chicken Chicken, ham Everything I mean look at all that Delicious And I didn't film an end of day on that day the rest of the time I just spent it enjoying my date. I didn't want to film the entire time So I filmed a little bit here and there we went to The Canadian Museum of Human Rights. We went to the forks and we went to carnival I would highly recommend carnival if you're in the Winnipeg area Maybe check to see if they have a location in different areas where you are as well I don't know if they if they're a franchise or not, but wow Amazing amazing amazing food Great experience a little bit pricey just a heads up when you go there But you get what you pay for you get an amazing experience So I would recommend it Come back home and just want her to say bye That's all and explain why there was no end We're just focused on the date the rest of the day and I think you can understand that So I'll see you tomorrow everybody. Don't forget to be safe. Stay safe And as always drive safe. I'll be back in the truck in my next video I'll see you tomorrow
