Our NY vacation--The Beginning



It began at 5:00 in the morning...Jason and I woke up to run the Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon before heading on our vacation. After running (I do have to mention that I only came in 22 minutes after Jason, I was quite excited), we collected our medals and finally found our car (we forgot where we had parked) we headed home, took a shower and met the kids and Grandma at church before we set on the road to Toledo, Ohio. We stayed at the Baymont Hotel, enjoyed a late night swim in the pool and got ready for the rest of vacation.
The next morning we got up and headed to Niagara Falls, NY. During our car ride we enjoyed listening to Arthur's 12 Anniversary CD and learned to tie our shoes, the girls I mean, I already know how (just in case you were wondering). Since we got there in good time we decided to head to the falls after dropping our bags off at the Hotel. We decided to start our adventure so we went to Cave of the Winds (by the way, if you go on this they give you some great souvenir sandals). Here is a picture on the hurricane deck.


We had been looking at an advertisement in the hotel lobby and realized that Canada was having a holiday and were celebrating by having fireworks over Niagara Falls. It was a great evening and the lights on the falls were beautiful! When else do you get to see fireworks over the falls. It was a pure treat!
