Mimi & Pat's Excellent Niagara Falls Adventure

Pat has never been to Niagara Falls. 

Mimi & I hadn't been in a while. 

So, off we went. 

We stayed at the Fallsview Marriott on the recommendation of a friend. 

We arrived late in the afternoon. 

We grabbed a bite at Outback.

Then sat in the lobby bar and played cards. 

The other guests were fascinated by this. 

We signed up for a tour at 9 the next morning.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. 

Tony was our guide. 

He took us....

Behind the falls. 

The hallways are kinda spooky and very damp.

You can go outside if you want to get very wet. 

The falls are so powerful.

Then a nice view from Table Rock.

A restful and informative driving tour.

Our hotel

A stop in one of many gorgeous Niagara Falls parks.

These parks are all maintained without tax dollars!

The rapids at the gorge...the fastest rapids in the world. 

Hard to see how beautiful it is!

We saw the floral clock, but only from the bus. 

That was enough. 

Then went to the Butterfly House. 

My sister loved it and so did I!

Pat, not so much. 

Over 2000 butterflies!

In a house in the middle of the most gorgeous botanical garden!

After returning to the hotel, we got in the car and headed to Niagara on the Lake. 

What a gorgeous spot.

We ate at an Irish Pub.

Mimi wanted a salad, but ordered liver & onions, of course.

What is it about my sisters and ordering food?

Clam bellies..now liver & onions?

Oy.

We even took a spin on the WeGo bus.

There were lotsa laughs going thru customs on the way home. 

Actually, there were lotsa laughs the whole time. 

There is always lotsa laughing with Meem.

Its true, there's nothing like the laughs you get with a sister. 

I've learned...Niagara Falls is a lot more fun with my contemporaries than it is with school children. 

And, I think Clive might enjoy a long weekend at Niagara on the Lake. 

They say the Christmas decorating is exquisite up there!

Hmmmmmm.....
