It was so exciting to wake up in Canada. What should we wear? Let's check the weather. 19 degrees?! You might be rolling your eyes at me as you read this, but we chuckled over the metric system our entire trip.
This might just be my favorite picture from our trip. It's already in a frame on my desk at school, and there is another copy on Tim's desk at church, too.
Skylon Tower - We chose not to ride the exterior elevator - see the little yellow car? - to the top and just walk around instead. Still a pretty cool landmark, though!
Apparently, "Big Becky" drilled a tunnel under the Falls. Who are you calling Big?! The tunnel? Oh, okay. Let's be nice and say that "Little Becky" thinks Niagara Falls is the coolest place she has ever had the pleasure of visiting.
We spent part of the day walking around an area called Clifton Hill. Think Panama City meets the Wisconsin Dells. We did a little souvenir shopping, walking around, and found some good food for lunch and dinner.
Lunch - Montana's Cookhouse
Dinner - Boston Pizza - so yummy that we ate at another location in Toronto later in our trip. The cactus chips rock. And rule.
Oh Canada - can't wait to get some yummy Poutine...soon enough.
What is Poutine, eh? A delicious heart-attack-waiting-to-happen in a bowl.
Clifton Hill is called this for a reason. A great big hill of a reason. After walking up and down this hill about three times, we decided to sit on a bench in the park near the Falls and listen to the incredible roar of the water. As we were sitting there, this very nice Canadian couple sat down next to us and proceeded to feed the squirrels and birds peanuts. They were happy to share peanuts, so we could have some fun, too. :)
Yup - they took the peanuts right out of our hands! The little guy would run off and bury them in random areas before returning for more. It was so cute!
Here's what you've been waiting for - Niagara Falls! Here's a look at some of my favorite pictures.
Another fave picture from the trip. :) #selfie
Um, funny story. You should really know where the fire stairs are in your hotel. Just in case, you know, the fire alarm happens to go off at 11:30 P.M. Seriously?! There was a "situation" in one of the main floor restaurants, so the fire department was called, and guests of the hotel were instructed to read the emergency directions and stay in our rooms. Should the tone of the fire alarm change, get out. So the alarm tone changed, and we tried to leave but couldn't find the stairs. Safety - fail. Wouldn't you know that as soon as we found the stairs, the alarm stopped and all was well at the Four Points again. Whew!
Next post - more Falls pictures. Cause I only took like 200 pictures in one day. Ha.
