Niagara Falls

Yesterday we went to Niagara Falls. We heard that the Canadian side was much better than the U.S. side, so we drove an extra 5 minutes and went to Canada. We did not realize how close we actually live. It took less than 20 minutes to get to the border and about 10 more to cross the border. Words cannot describe how beautiful the falls are. We walked from the rapids area down to were we boarded the Maid of the Mist. The boat takes you past the American Falls to the point where we were directly in front of Horseshoe Falls. The power of the water coming over the falls was incredible. The boat we going from side to side. I find it hard to believe that people actually put themselves in barrells and went over the falls. After seeing the sites, we drove out of the main tourist area to a little cafe and had a traditional Candadian meal of fries with gravy. It was a day that we will never forget and look forward to taking our family and friends to see this incredible place.
