A Great Lake Day

We were able to fit in a lot in our short time at Niagara Falls and can't imagine spending any more time there. It was beautiful, but I can only handle so much touristing.

We started our day by taking a walk to Goat Island, and then we decided to visit the Cave of Winds, where I got quite wet from the falls, as was the intention.

After that we sallied north to Lake Ontario at Fort Niagara so that I can experience all of the Great Lakes. We didn't spend long there because we were really hungry!

 

 

 

We then headed down to Oberlin while I tried to find somewhere for us to grab lunch. I found a little family restaurant, that had some of the best chicken dumpling soup I've ever had. Tasted like real home cooking.

We then found the nearest beach park on Lake Erie. That's right one day, two Great Lakes.

 

 

 

We then drove to Oberlin only stoping once after that after entering Ohio.

 

When we arrived in Oberlin we were greeted by my Uncle LD and my Auntie Arlene. We were wined and dined very well. Many of the ingredients even came from their lovely garden.

Tourist time!

So I'm going try to catch up, because I'm a couple days behind....

We woke up on Tuesday morning in Speculator. I don't take as long as my dad to get ready, so I had a couple hours to to hang out on the lake before we had to check out.

 

 

 

Needless to say, it was a lovely way to start my morning. We then went for brunch at a little cafe in town before we headed west towards Buffalo.

We stopped in the Buffalo area for lunch. Mackenzie suggested Spot Coffee. Which was very fresh and tasty!

 

Since we were right in the area we decided to drive through University At Buffalo. The campus looked very dry at this time of year.

 

We then sallied on to Niagara Falls. Once we checked in to our hotel we headed to the Maid of the Mist tour. We had too much fun singing and taking selfies on the boat.

 

 

 

We sallied on towards other places to take pictures of the falls and our selves. 

 

With the help of my mother we found a quiet farm to table restaurant on the Canadian side, Weinkeller. It was a nice to get away from all the people & noise that tourism brings. 

It was so good that my dad ate some of my chocolate dessert! It was his first time having chocolate since he was 16!

 I was very nervous about entering back into the states. Over the last year I seem to have ended up on some list that says, search through all of her belongings and anyone who's with her. Luckily this time we only had my purse and our pockets to go through so it didn't take to long. But I'd really like to know when they will stop looking through my things every time I re-enter the country.
