Niagara Falls/Father's Day

Had an amazing time at Niagara Falls this weekend in NY. We headed up after Shaun passed his certification test on Friday. Its about a 6-7 hr drive depending on traffic/construction. I think it took us about 6 1/2. Not bad. Had a nice evening talking with his Dad and sister. They are great!! I really adore his family. Then Saturday took the one-hour drive to Naigara Falls. We were gonna do both the American side and the Candian side, but ended up just staying on the American side. We had lots of fun, and I have a ton of pics to follow. I work the next three days, so they should be posted by the end of the week.
We did the Cave of the winds, where you hike down to the bottom of the falls, and get soaked. Of course they provide you with sandals and ponchos. It was fun. Next up, walked around lots, enjoying the scenery, then headed over to Maid of the Mist. Its a boat that takes you into the falls. It was hard to keep my eyes open it was so wet, but I still got an amazing view from the bottom of the falls. Of course they provide another poncho for you there too.
We decided not to go to the Canadian side, we had seen enough, and planned to meet his sister and father for dinner in Buffalo at the Cheesecake Factory....yumm!!! Had some time to look around the mall, just browsing.
Sunday went to church in the morning, then to brunch after church. That was nice. Shaun and I have been wanting to find a church, but we have just been so busy on weekends. When things settle down, we will hunt for a church here to go to. After brunch, we went and saw the baseball field that his sister, Deanna works at. I guess they have done lots of major changes, so she wanted him to come check it out.
It was a short weekend, but fun none-the-less. I wish we could spend more time up there. Oh and Happy Father's Day to all those Dad's out there. Hope you had a great day!
