#goroadtrips2021 and #goeastofedmonton
We’re learning to accept last minute “go-with-the-flow” plans. For Father’s Day, our only task was to do nothing, relax, and enjoy just being...but that changed when we decided to invite extended family over for homemade pizza. Doing nothing turned into a day of food prep and hosting (which we absolutely LOVE to do so we still thoroughly enjoyed the day).
Fast forward to today.....
....which ended up how Father’s Day intended to be but I think it turned out better then we could have ever planned.
The weather was gorgeous so we decided to head into town for some ice cream (right before dinner 😯) and then explore a bit in the heritage precinct (which even though the museum is closed, we could still peruse the grounds). We noticed that in the adjoining park bandshell, something was getting set up. A quick interwebs search said that there was a community band concert happening in a couple hours so we headed home (really just a 10 min drive) to pack a quick picnic then made our way back for an evening of music. It was everything you’d expect an all-ages, small-town community orchestral band to be and we adored every minute of it (and even sang and danced to some of the songs ☺️).
Anyways, we had no expectations for how our day would turn out and it ended up 143% better then we could have imagined.
We didn’t plan today but as Louisa would say “it was in God’s thoughts” and He knew exactly what we needed.

With a vibrant, historic downtown and scenic parks, Wainwright is a fun getaway in NE Alberta. We found some good eats at moralesmexicangrill and honeypoteatery too! Stay at the Ramada (they have an indoor pool & waterslide), or camp at the Riverdale Mini Park or Arm Lake. For more information, see our story on the blog (#linkinbio👆)!

Why you should Play the Roadtrip Adventure Game in 2021!
Our family shared a lot of laughs
Thanks again for a wonderful roadtrip game. Our family shared a lot of laughs and made plenty of memories this summer.
Jaime
Thank you so much for making this game
My wife, Sarah Ryan, and I just completed the Northeast of Edmonton section of the Go East Roadtrip Adventure. We had a wonderful time! We’d been to a lot of the places for work before, but never to explore as vacationers. Thank you so much for making this game!
Craig
It was so much fun
We had such a great time doing this challenge with the kids. It was so much fun and got so many pictures we can’t wait until next year’s roadtrip adventure. Using the website as well as the magazine, Go East of Edmonton, to plan the trip definitely made it effortless.
Casey & Michelle
A great introduction to the small towns
We had a lot of fun on this roadtrip as we combined it with the “World’s Largest” roadtrip we planned on doing, so it worked perfectly. It was a great introduction to the small towns on the east side of Edmonton as we’ve been here for 6 years now, and we all enjoyed the scenic routes as well. The sticker stops felt like the pitstops in the Amazing Race. Thanks, and I guess until the next adventure game.
Alek, Elenita, and Liam
Kudos to the team that put this game together
This is a great idea and something we are thoroughly enjoying doing. Kudos to the team that put this game together. I look forward to next year’s version and will keep an eye out for it.
