Niagara Falls

Sunday the 20th we left PA and headed in to New York. Monday we finally went to the falls, how AWESOME! We rode the Maid of the Mist right up to the falls. It was everything we had imagined. We loved it!! We walked around and saw the falls from several different angles, all of them are fantastic. Tuesday we were back and did the Cave of the Winds. You don't actually go behind the falls anymore but you still get plenty wet. It is amazing to look up at the falls from the bottom of the gorge. Today we drove north along the river and stopped at the Power Vista. It is a visitor center for the USA power plant. They have a very nice display and quite a view as well. We also made a stop at the Whirlpool State Park. That area is something to see. The water really does "whirl" around. We drove on up so we could see Lake Ontario and then came back to Old Fort Niagara. They have restored it very nicely and have very interesting exhibits. They also have the first lighthouse on the Great Lakes.
