Niagara Falls

Today Brandon, Brian and I got the privilege to go to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. It was so beautiful! Words can not even begin to describe the beauty of this destination. 
We enjoyed lunch at the Skylon Tower in the Revolving Dining room. The views were great! The food was a bit pricey and not overly good. Just mediocre and nothing special. The view made up for it for sure. 
After lunch we went on the HornBlower tour (Canada's version of the Maid of the Mist). It was so neat and worth the $17 a person cost (I believe in Canadian dollars and not US). I was surprised how quickly you actually get on the boat after buying your ticket. There were a ton of people and we were on the boat in less than 10 mins, which was the time it took us to take the elevator down, get out "mist" poncho on and board the boat. 
When they say "mist" they mean more of a light rain! Granted your not totally soaked when you return but that is because it's also SUPER windy, so you dry off. The views down on the water were breathtaking and the photos don't do it justice. 
Overall it was a GREAT decision to stop on at Niagara Falls on the way to Maine. I will say, there is plenty to do here, so the few hours we spent could have easily became a day or two. Until we return again the memories will have to last!
