Niagara Falls Day Trip

When we were in Rochester, NY visiting Mike's mom and step-dad, we decided to take a trip up to Niagara Falls. And since I had yet to leave the country at the time, we decided to go to the Canada side and see Horseshoe Falls. Mike's uncle suggested we drive over to Buffalo and cross the Peace bridge and drive around that way because it was a more pleasant drive. So that was our plan.

It was beautiful on our drive to Buffalo. The clouds were sooo low!


Since we were going over to Buffalo, we decided we HAD to go to the the place where buffalo wings originated! So we stopped off in Buffalo to get some delicious wings before crossing the border!

Delicious Buffalo Hot Wings! Yum!



































After a delicious lunch, we made it to the Canada border. I was so excited to be able to cross the border finally!!!! I considered asking if they would stamp my passport! Haha. The border was an interesting experience. They totally interrogated us, but we made it through!

After that, the Falls! It was a pretty hot day. The falls were beautiful! We didn't really do anything else there but visit the falls and look around the shops. The mist from the falls was crazy. It's amazing that it travels so far. Within seconds, we were dripping wet! Here are some good shots from the day. I also discovered the film grain on our camera, so there are some fun shots with the film grain setting. Visit our youtube page for videos of the falls too. http://www.youtube.com/pyramidstofourlives
