A Marvelous Work and A Wonder
August 27, 2017
This is the day our wonderful sons, Nathan and Matthew, were born 26 years ago. We woke up this morning and our first thoughts were of them. Happy Birthday, Buds!
We got an early start so we could make the short walk from our hotel down to Niagra Falls before the crowds arrived. We were not disappointed in our plan as there were not any lines or crowds at the park when we arrived there. We also could not have asked for a more beautiful morning to view the falls. The weather and temperature conditions were about as perfect as we could ever have hoped for. We walked right through the ticket gate without a person in front of us, and we proceeded down unimpeded to board the Maid of the Mist boat for a ride around the river below the falls. The boat is aptly named as it travels right through the misty area (more like really big water droplets) at the base of the falls. Since we had clear skies, the sun shone through all of those droplets and created rainbows in every direction. It was really a sight to behold! After our boat ride we walked around the park and enjoyed the falls from every possible observation area. We spent several hours there and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The falls are a spectacular force of nature and our time there today was the perfect way to finish this adventure. We will arrive home late tonight after 18 wonderful days.
The following pictures are of our time today at Niagra Falls. We will post others on our photograph page later.

Beautiful photos. I was there once in 1970! I'd better go back.
ReplyDeleteNiagra Falls is definitely worth seeing. Kimberly is the one that talked us into adding this to the end of our trip, and we are very glad that we did.
