Niagara Falls, CANADA - day two

In the morning we had tickets on the Hornblower Cruise down into the falls. On the walk to the boat dock the kids kept stopping and asking to take their pictures. We are really lucky to have such great kids.

My observation/some information of Niagara Falls:
 -We all got a red poncho as part of the boat ride into the falls.
 -We didn't get too wet, because it wasn't very windy.
 -I didn't expect the falls to be so loud.
 -Levi didn't like it very much and held onto Michael pretty tightly.
 -We asked some strangers to take our pictures on the boat. I'm glad we have some pictures of all of us.

After the boat ride we decided to take our time walking back to the hotel. The weather was so beautiful. The kids had fun running around on some grass at the park near the falls. We thought we would spend most of the day in Niagara, but between the morning and the evening before we saw everything we wanted to see. We went back to the hotel to pack up and get the van. We made one quick stop at the Hershey store on our way out of town.

Time to head to Rochester New York for the next part of our road trip.

Niagara Falls, CANADA - day one

We had a lot of fun on our vacation. Here is a bit of a travel log of our vacation to Canada and upstate New York. Our first day we got up early and drove to Niagara Falls, Canada. Not too many exciting pictures from the drive, but our view from the hotel was AMAZING!

After getting settled in the hotel, we headed out to walk around the town and find some dinner. We ended up at an Italian restaurant for some yummy pizza and pasta. Then we walked down the main street and decided to take a ride on the huge Ferris wheel. It was amazing to see the falls from up high. On our way back to the hotel we walked by and took some pictures of the American Falls. (For those who don't know Niagara Falls is made up of two main falls. The American Falls are just as they sound... they fall from the American side. The Horseshoe Falls are the iconic semi-circle shaped falls that fall between the border from the Niagara River between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. There is a geography lesson for you.)

Once we got back to our hotel we got ready for bed and watched the fireworks from the comfort of our room. The kids were obsessed with looking out the window. They loved seeing the falls.
