Niagara Falls
In order to make the most of this upstate NY experience, we decided to take a day trip to Niagara falls. Its only about an hour and 20 minutes away so it was easily done. We started with lunch at Hard Rock Cafe - mainly because we were starving and it was right next to our parking lot - and dined on burgers while listening to none other than Elvis over the sound system. There's a little bit of Memphis everywhere we go. Then we walked down to the falls which are situated in beautiful Niagara Park. We walked along the rapids, then headed to the observation tower for some breathtaking views. Afterwards, we rode the elevator down to the "Maid of the Mist" ship, where we donned blue ponchos were able to take a very up-close tour of the falls on both the American and Canadian sides. Matt and I loved it - Jackson fell asleep...possibly the only tourist to fall asleep less than 100 feet from one of the (if not the) largest waterfall in North America. All in all - pretty spectacular.
About Me
WELCOME! Our little family includes me, my hubby Matt, our son Jackson, and the pups Athena and Mojito. Day in and day out, we live a pretty normal life. This year we just happend to be living it in sub-zero temps in upstate NY, but that's changing in a few short months and we're heading back home to Memphis :). A few basic, but nontheless pertinent facts about me that you should know...I find cheese and crackers to be a perfectly acceptable dinner when I'm by myself, ice cream can be eaten any time of the day, cold weather is only good for skiing, animals have souls, flip flops are my favorite shoe, Jackson's laugh can make my day all better no matter what, fried okra is my favorite, someday I want to be permanently settled on a body of water, scuba diving is my favorite outdoor activity, 80's movies are awesome, I have the best friends and most wonderful family, if our next baby is a girl we're done, I want a Mac laptop, I get my love of cooking from my Grandad, and I have no idea what I want to do when I grow up...all in all, pretty basic stuff. Thanks for stopping by
