Vacation Recap, Lake Erie, Part 1
Oct
15
2015
We took a week to circle Lake Erie. We never visited Lake Erie itself, just a few interesting points.
Day 1
Drive to Niagara Falls. One hour in the USA and 4 hours in Canada. The border crossing was uneventful. The CBP asked us a few questions, mostly relating to the fact that we were not coming back into the US via the same point we were leaving it. Really, the only issue was that my wife was wearing her sunglasses and the guard asked her to remove her sunglasses so he could see that she looked like the picture in her passport.
We got to Niagara Falls, checked into our hotel, then walked to the falls. We stayed on the Canadian side, but I saved a bit of money by booking a hotel that does not have a view of the falls. In fact, here is the view from our balcony:
The falls were interesting for a little bit. But we didn’t spend much time there since we weren’t doing anything that cost extra. If you don’t go on the boat ride or walk down to the base of the falls or anything else touristy, the trip to the falls is over pretty quickly.
But we did spend enough time to get some pictures.
After the falls, we walked back to the hotel and had dinner. Then we availed ourselves of the hotel pool and hot tub for a while. Then we got the boys ready for bed and waited.
Waited for it to get dark enough for the fireworks.
Our hotel didn’t have a view of the falls, but it did face in the direction of the falls, so we could see the fireworks. Kind of.
Not the best view, but better than nothing. And the kids enjoyed it.
Then it was bedtime.
To Be Continued …
Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me.
