at first sight

It had been a long 10 day car ride from Ottawa to the city of Yellowknife.  At the last turn in the road I raised my lazy eyes over the dash to see the city we would be calling home for the next few years.  I noticed a large orange office building in the distance with 'YK Centre' printed on the side.

"They make zippers here?" 

As soon as the words were out of my mouth I realized my mistake.  YKK makes zippers, YK means Yellowknife.

We both laughed as we turned into the hotel's parking lot.

  4. That's exactly what I was thinking! I saw that Will & Kate were in Yellowknife last week and I though... wait, I've heard of that town. Let's see some pictures of the royalty visiting YK! -- Renee
