Niagara Falling

Hello from Ontario!

I'm in Niagara Falls for the night, on the Canadian side, which is so much better then the American side. It's been a busy day, but loads of fun. We left DC yesterday (Thursday) at 4:15am (SO not my idea, obviously), but were in NY well before lunch, which was ideal. We pulled into the parking lot of the first winery on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail at approximately 10:30am. Awesome. From there, we drove north and hit about ten more wineries. We had lunch at one of them and kept on going! Of course, we bought a bottle or two at each one...

Wine-o's? Us? Nooooooo.....

Today we got up early again (not as early!) and left our B&B around 9am to head to the Falls, which I love! So, so pretty. We stopped at my beloved Tim Hortons for a breakfast snack and were at the Falls by lunchtime. After checking into our hotel, we drove a bit north to Niagara-on-the-Lake to visit a few more wineries. Many of them feature ice wines, which Steve loves and we don't see much of in VA, so that was a nice treat. Then we did the Falls, had dinner 700 feet about the Falls and then went to a casino where I lost $10. Oh well. It could have been far worse!

Of course, there are lots of pictures, which I will post when we get back.

Tomorrow we are heading back to the Finger Lakes for a wedding. Sunday, a few more wineries with some friends (on the other side of Seneca!) and then visiting a family friend in Binghamton before back to DC on Monday...

Happy long weekend to you! Hope you are enjoying it!
