Niagara Falls

What a fun day! After breakfast at Denny's, we headed across the street to board the famous Maid of the Mist. They gave us stylish blue raincoats, and we took our places on the top deck of the boat. Talk about a close view of the Falls! First we cruised by the American Falls. As we approached it started to get really windy. The mist from the Falls was like driving rain. We were all soaked to the bone. The Horseshoe Falls was even more violent. It seemed as though the boat was only a couple hundred feet away from the edge. Justin loved the whole experience. Joshua liked the boat ride, but didn't really care for all the wind and rain when we were up close. You could really feel the power being so close to the Falls, and it was very warm here today so the spray felt good. I shot a lot of video, so hopefully it comes out O.K. Afterwards, Justin and I played 18 holes at Niagara Putt across from our hotel. After some serious trash-talking, Justin proceeded to lose by 2 strokes. Still, we had fun (although it was starting to get hot). We had lunch at the Misty Dog (next to the Twist O' The Mist ice cream shop). Jennifer had some interesting looking sweet potato french fries. I took a nice nap while Justin and Joshua played video games in the small arcade they have in the hotel lobby. Dinner at Denny's followed. We're all tired of eating at restaurants (especially Denny's), and we're really looking forward to heading home tomorrow...
