I'm leaving for a family vacation on September 1st to Sudbury. We're driving out, which should be fun and/or insane. My sister, minus her husband, is coming along, too. Since Sudbury has a giant nickel as one of its attractions, we're going to check it out while we're there. Now this has sparked a whole theme for the trip from my sister. She suggested we stop for any giant attraction we see along the way and take a picture. At first I was thinking, "How many giant attractions can there be in Canada?" A lot, apparently.
I don't know how, but creating a list of giant things to see fell to me. Since we're driving and on a schedule we can't stop for too much, but in the cities where we're stopping for the night there's some stuff.
So far I've got a big cactus and a giant Canada Goose in Hanna, Alberta; Mac the Moose in Moosejaw (Sister has already seen this but she wants another picture with the whole family I guess), a giant pitchfork and Regianld the Grasshopper in Regina (the place that rhymes with fun!), and a giant buffalo in Swift Current, Saskatchewan; the world's largest Coke Can in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba; and Max the Moose in Dryden, the Big Nickel, a giant Brontosaurus (which might be in a mini golf course), a giant steam shovel,a giant Sundial, and the Mining Heritage Sculpture in Sudbury, and a giant curling stone, giant moose hunters, and a big polar bear in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
I'll be impressed if we actually find all of these and take a picture. If we do, you know I'll totally be posting them here. :-D
