Riel House National Historic Site

Today was the last day of our Winnipeg Road Trip. We packed up camp at Bird's Hill and headed back over to the Forks so that Sierra could play in the splash pad one last time. We ate lunch in the market again and then headed south to the Riel House National Historic Site.

It was the hone of Metis leader Louis Riel and the site of some fun activities for Sierra.

We toured the inside

and outside

of the home on our own and then got back in the car to head a little bit further south.

We headed down to the Trappist Monastery Provincial Park and the ruins of a monastery (of course).

We spent about a half hour exploring the grounds there.

Then it was a long drive back to the border crossing and then to International Falls.
