Niagara Falls, NY...

Growing up in Buffalo, New York most of my life, it was nothing to hop in the car on a Sunday and head on over to Canada for the day.  We were just that close and going over the border was not so bad. Of course now, laws have changed and you need a passport or enhanced license.  

Seeing the Falls in Canada is an amazing site to see. I have always known there is an American side to the Falls, however, we have never been.

We decided, it was a great time to do so. SIMPLY  an AWESOME day, that I would recommend anyone to do if you are in the area.

Little did we know we were going on an amazing little adventure, and YES, we were quite fashionable.We definitely are a silly family, and dressing in these poncho's just brought it out even more so.

This just may be my Christmas card for 2011~

Never heard of this tour, but it was reasonable at 11.00 per adult and 8.00 for kids.

When I tell you there were hundreds of seagulls ( I think that is what this is) there were hundreds plus. Just beautiful!

If you look closely you can see them from a far.

Skylon tower, this is from the American side.

Famous Maid of the mist.  I am too chicken to do this. You should see how close it comes to the Falls. Maybe next time.

Alex looking up at amazement...this was so much fun.  We actually saw a double rainbow.  I could not get pictures as we were getting soaked.

This is what Alex was looking up at.

That is my sis and her boyfriend and his daughter. I took this picture from above, as someone else was taking their picture.

Thank you all so much for coming along our two week vacation with us.  We sure packed in a lot of sites and food.  I have more fun famous food places to share.  However, first I must lose a few vacation pounds.

We are heading home now.

I sure will miss my Mom and sissie.

I am looking forward to catching up on all my blogging friends. I have to get some creative juices flowing too.
I am jonesing to paint.

Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversay...HAPPY!!~

Today we celebrate 15

 years of marriage!~ I really do not know where time has gone.  The only thing I know for sure is....I love my husband more today than I did on our wedding day....and that is the truth!~

I think I have mentioned what  a foodie family we are....we love food, eating out and exploring all kinds of eateries. Today Mike wanted to try this Cuban place that is only about 15 minutes away......I am participating in the BYH party http://byhsa.blogspot.com

 

Nothing fancy, but the food was outstanding....we had the best time.

We have eaten at many of restaurants, but this was the first time we had Cuban food.  It was owned and operated by a couple I am going to say about our age.  The nicest people you could imagine.  They even gave us free dessert and the owner told Mike I was pretty...so I will be back! HA HA......

The most ironic part of this outing was we sat by an elderly couple.....they started chit chatting, they where Cuban themselves I think...they spoke it anyhow....but when speaking to us, the gentleman out of no where, started talking about Buffalo, NY......what a great place it is and how great the people are.....Well of course I had to pipe up and say...we are native Buffalonians....again no reason to tell you this story just thought it was ironic...more good Karma in the air!

As you can see this is the best I get with a picture of my handsome husband of 15 years....real wise guy I say!

I was a bit emotionally today...between my PMS and knowing time passed by ever so quickly....it was nice to end the day with a lovely dinner with my family.  We had fun.  Happy Anniversary Mike...Love you!!~ XXX000 Oh that collage you see some colored little rubber band like thingies...those are called silly bands, Jack bought them for me today at the book fair....how sweet...he did buy a book too, thank goodness!
