Our NY vacation - Canada

After we had gone to Maid of the Midst, we headed back to our hotel and the kids swam in the pool while I downloaded pictures and Grandma took a nap. Then the moment the girls had been waiting for...they were going to go to another country! We had our passports and the birth certificates and headed to our neighbors in the north. And this is what beheld our sight when we got there: The picture can not contain the intense beauty that was before us. It made the kids break out in their new favorite song: Double Rainbow
Us all on Canadian soil. It was fun!
Below is a picture from the restaurant we ate at overlooking the falls, Elements. Note to those going, make sure it is the correct menu on display before officially starting to order. They had the lunch menu out when we walked by, so we thought the prices were OK, especially for the view...apparently they had switched to the dinner menu and we didn't find that out until later. Life lesson learned. But, we enjoyed the food, and it was good food.

It was a fantastic night!

Then we hit the town! It was beautiful! On the way back as we were crossing into the United States the car in front of us got detained. Apparently, the driver had dumped something out of her cup as she was coming up to customs. Her and her daughter were taken out of their car and they were searched as we watched. Thankfully, it only took us two minutes to get through. Note to self: don't dump any liquids out of your car as you are approaching the border patrol, it might be a long night.
