Since we were only a few miles away, and since Jake had never been, we decided to venture up to Niagara Falls for most of one day! We had a great time watching the vast amounts of water topple over the falls and walking all over the place - until I got a massive blister! 
That's when we decided to try and drive over to the Canadian side. What a mistake! First, we got interrogated by the Canadian crossing people, then we couldn't find anywhere to park that wasn't under $18 (which we weren't willing to pay since we only planned on staying for 2 hours), and then we decided that since we had payed the toll to get over to this new country we would at least drive around in it! Well, pretty much all we saw were lots of hotels and motels all advertising that they had heart shaped Jacuzzis. Canada - not my favorite place!

Jake and I were too cold to stay for more than one color - red. So there you go! That was all we put up with. Then we hurried back to the hotel and jumped under the blankets to try and warm back up!
And my favorite picture:
Um, DUH!!!

Pretty! I have never been there either. Maybe we will have to stop when we come out.
Someday I would like to see the falls in person. Looks awesome.
PS - Mari you look really good!
No Maid of the Mist tour? Looks like you had fun. You of all people should be brave enough to climb over the fence! Mari is Fearless.
Did you know Falls are actually regulated, so in low tourist times less water is going over? I heard about it from a book review about summer vacations-so the question is, did you see the high or low version of this "natural wonder"?
