Vacation Day 5

Friday in Niagara Falls started out quite rainy. But since it was a light rain we walked around in it anyway. It wasn’t much different than the light mist you have to walk through when you get close to the falls.

We started by going to the Skylon and viewing the falls from the tower.

The hotel we stayed at.

 

More mini golf. People there did not know how to play. It was crazy and plenty amusing!!

 

Stopped here for brick oven pizza. Yum!

 

And ummm, yeah… more mini golf. But it was pretty cool to play glow in the dark mini golf! :-) And yes, people didn’t know how to play here either. Tourists don’t read directions…

 

Mike and “SpongeBob”. He looks so happy in this picture. LOL!

The only picture I got from our ride on the SkyWheel. It was to dark to take pictures. I was bummed because we missed seeing the fireworks over the falls by just a couple minutes…

 

Vacation Day 4

It was time to pack up and leave the awesome B&B and head to our next destination… Old Fort Niagara and Niagara Falls, Canada.

Driving to Old Fort Niagara

The Fort!

 

Despite our GPS not working in Canada we made it to the falls and found our hotel with very little difficulty. Good thing I made reservations at a hotel by the falls or we probably would have never found it!

The falls Thursday night…

The SkyWheel that we rode on Friday evening…

 

Vacation Day 3

Our travels on Wednesday took us to Sonnenberg Garden’s & Mansion.

Built in 1887, Sonnenberg's 40-room Mansion offers visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the late nineteenth century. Along with 17 other structures across the 50-acre property, the estate boasts nine formal gardens representing many cultures and historic periods including 12th-century Asia, 4th-century Rome and the French Renaissance. A 20-acre arboretum of rare and exotic trees, plants and unique landscapes stretches across the grounds, while a Lord & Burnham wood-and-glass greenhouse complex of the Victorian period features varieties of orchids, succulents, tropical plants and flowers, as well as vegetables.

After touring the gardens we took a drive along lake Seneca. We stopped along the way and grabbed a bite to eat, sitting on the deck and enjoying the view.

 

Later that day we escaped some rain storms and played a couple games of mini golf! :-)

 

And ended the evening with awesome sundaes from Abbotts. I had chocolate with marshmallow topping and heath bars. Yum!!!!

 

The sky looked awesome on the drive back to the bed and breakfast!!
