Niagara Falls, Canada

Darren and I took a long weekend and headed up to Niagara Falls. We got a great deal on a hotel, which ended in partying neighbors and a pet mouse. Other than that, we had a great time! We spent a lot of time on this street that was obsessed with wax museums, haunted houses and miniature golfing. We skipped the museums and haunted houses, but went golfing and spent a while in an arcade. On Saturday we took the Maid of the Mist boat tour to get wet under the falls. We did a lot of walking afterword to get the best views and pictures of Niagara Falls. The times that we weren't at the falls, we found yummy restaurants. We ended up at two Italian places (Darren loves his gnocchis) and a great Indian eatery while we were in Canada. We also found some outlets and did a little shopping. I was appalled with the taxes, so we won't be shopping in Canada again anytime soon, especially because there is no tax on clothes in Pittsburgh. Overall we had a fabulous time and can't wait for our next adventure!

Entering the Canadian border, I got so excited when I saw the signThe "fun" street and my cute DarrenOn the Maid of the MistI loved the rainbows






I could stare at the falls all day, amazing!
