Niagara Falls

While my sister and her family were here we decided to take a trip to Palmyra, but before going there we wanted to do Niagara Falls since we live (somewhat) close. They were game, so they joined us on the trip. We got a minivan to fit us all in one car, and we headed out into our adventure. It was really fun to be all together and driving the 7 hours, made the time pass by much more quickly. 

While driving we had to pass through two other states! We started off in the city, then went over to New Jersey, then up through Pennsylvania, then back into New York. It was kinda crazy, but a highlight for me was that we were going to pass right by Scranton, Pennsylvania!!!! I am a HUGE The Office fan, so I was excited just to see the signs for Scranton. So I had Tyler take a picture so I could remember passing by. haha!

We get to Niagara Falls and started looking around. Not much is there besides the Falls, so it wasn't too hard to see all that there was to see. 

 We took a ride on the Maid of the Mist boat, and it was fun! Preston was in his stroller so I didn't put his poncho on him, so myself and my sister stayed in the lower deck with Preston so we wouldn't get too wet. The rest of the boys went up on the top deck and got pretty wet. Here are some pictures of passing by the Falls.

Very pretty Falls, of course not as big as Victoria Falls, but still pretty big and I also loved seeing the rocks at the bottom. 

After that everyone wanted to go and do the walk down to the Cave of the Winds (I think that is what it is called). Preston couldn't go, so I stayed with him at the entrance while everyone else got their special sandals and ponchos on, and started the walk down into the Falls. Tyler thankfully took some pictures down there.

We had lots of fun see the Falls and also finding a yummy ice cream stand. The next day we drove over to Palmyra, where part of the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints happened.
