Niagara Falls

We just got back from a wonderful 4 nights in Niagara Falls, Canada!! Eddie had an assignment with the bridge commission for 2 days and we decided to tag along since Eddie and I have talked about going for the last 4 years. We ended up going a day early since a big snowstorm was coming the day we had planned to leave- and thank goodness we did!! Took 6 hours to get there, which wasn't too bad, all thanks to the wonderful people who created portable DVD players. The kids each have their own screen so there was practically no screaming the whole time! Then we ended up staying an extra night to see some more sights. We lucked out and got a fabulous suite overlooking both falls- visiting during off season is so much cheaper!!! We saw a famous bird sanctuary, butterfly conservatory, icewinery (yum!) and of course, the FALLS!! I don't think it got above 24 degrees the whole time we were there, and snow at some point each day, but was still worth it. No crowds- except at the bird conservatory where 3 busloads of foreign exchange students were dropped off 5 minutes before we got there. And to top it all off we got to go to another country where the people were very friendly (and talkative!). O Canada!
