Monday July 18th at Niagara Falls, New York

When I mentioned the possibility of going to Niagara Falls to Megan, she seemed to like the idea, so we planned to go today.  We got a bit of a late start because Megan took the car to MEL'S SERVICE to see if they could find out what was causing the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT to come on.  So, we left her car there and took my Subaru to Niagara Falls. 

We parked near the TOP OF THE FALLS restaurant and went to the lookout area for the Horseshoe Falls.  It was misty and windy but we loved it.

  Then we walked to the area of the Visitors Center and purchased tickets for the trolley ride around the state park. 

It was sprinkling when we got off the trolley at the stop for THREE SISTERS ISLAND, but it didn't last long.  I was surprised at how much the kids enjoyed the beauty of this area, as well as the falls.

We went to the observation deck at the American Falls and enjoyed that.

When we were finished at the falls, we headed to Lewiston and had lunch at SMOKIN JOES on Indian Hill Road.  Megan, Chris and the kids had stopped here two years ago just before their move to Michigan.  The burgers were really good!!

And then we went to HIBBARD'S for frozen custard. When we got  back to Lockport, Megan picked up her car at Mel's.  After that she and I both needed a nap.

That evening, we had Mike, Janie and the boys over for pizza.  We set up a table and lawn chairs in the back yard and it was very nice!!!  Janie brought chocolate frosted Rice Krispie Treats!
