The Cake

Shiloh and I made a Wubbzy cake yesterday. While I realize that it isn't quite up to Rachel's standards, I thought it was pretty good for a first attempt. What do you think?

The Package

Here's proof that I haven't opened it yet. With emphasis on "Yet".

The Nonsuch

The Nonsuch was the first trading vessel of the Hudson's Bay Company. It was specifically selected because of it's small size; this allowed it to be sailed up river and taken out of the water to avoid the crushing spring ice jams.

This replica was built in 1970 for the HBC's tercentenary. After being sailed down the Atlantic coast of Canada and the United States, through the Great Lakes, and on a voyage down the Pacific coast from Seattle, it was presented to the people of Manitoba and placed on display in the Nonsuch Gallery of the Manitoba Museum.

The Science Gallery

We visited the Manitoba Museum today, and viewed the Science Gallery for the first time. There were quite a few interesting exhibits, including an incredibly disorienting mirror maze.
