On Memorial Day we headed, with the kids, over to Niagara Falls which is about a 2 hour drive from where we live and stayed in the Embassy Suites overlooking the falls.

Here's the iconic view of the Canadian falls with the Maid of the Mist churning through a really neat rainbow ... beautiful day.

The grandparents on the walkway with the falls and rainbow behind us. It was about 65 and a bit windy but really a perfect day for the falls.

And the American falls again with one of the boats going upstream ... pretty heavy flow as this was a good spring runoff.

Right behind the visitor center below is the Embassy Suites hotel up on the escarpment; excellent placement and super place to stay. The only unfortunate thing was that the inclined railway from the hotel to the visitor center was undergoing renovation so we had to drive down to the park; but that will be fixed by the next time we go to the falls.

And the children doing the smart phone pose while Everett is still looking at the boats and/or seagulls below ...

The next day was predicted to be rainy and cool so we planned some non-picture events indoors and I'll show highlights when I get the pics formatted.
