#EasterEggHunt in Alberta
31 Jul 2016Although Mira and I both lived in Alberta, years ago, neither of us had ever visited the Vegreville pysanka. When we visited Edmonton this summer (home of the most aggressive photo radar campaign I have ever run across), we made sure to swing by Vegreville and check out one of the country’s most awesome roadside attractions.
Our trip to the pysanka and other Alberta roadside attractions, in pictures and tweets:

Usually I'd be a sucker for an elk on a pedestal, but less impressive when placed beside world's largest Easter egg pic.twitter.com/GLv6zdHiny

Mira thinks I'm taking a pic of the large egg behind her. Is it normal that a person would make that shirt herself? pic.twitter.com/IoycRdGH5d
