Niagara Falls

The highlight of the week was our time spent at Niagara Falls.  We were able to take the kids on the excursion boat "Maid of the Mist" -- let me tell you, you get *close* to the falls on that boat! -- and enjoyed time on both the American and Canadian sides.

We ended the day with a marvelous dinner at an outstanding German Restaurant called the Happy Wanderer, and watched as the falls were bathed in the glow of colored spotlights.
