Well, we made it to Thompson.
Took about 8.5 hours from home, including an hour for a crappy breakfast and a couple of roadside stops to keep the kids sane. Stopped at Pisew Falls for a quick look - beautiful. Ice bridge at the base of the falls, similar to Niagara, only on a much smaller scale.
First impressions of Thompson are not great, I must say. There are a lot of apartment buildings, many in less-than-impressive shape. To be fair, we only got a brief tour on our way to the hotel. We're staying at the Country Inn and Suites and I can't complain about it. Pretty clean, nice suite with separate bedroom so the kids can go to sleep in a quiet area.
We had dinner last night at one of the "fine dining" establishments in town: Grapes. Food was okay, but steady stream of less-than-sobre individuals making their way in and out of the "lounge area," took a little out of the experience.
Today we head out on the first house-hunting expedition. After only about 6 hours sleep, I'm a tad tuckered, but breakfast should remedy that.
Anyway, will write more later as time allows. Also hope to post some pictures for your amusement.
