The Falls

There is a reason people visit places like Niagra Falls. They are spectacular, that's why.

It is only a short hop to the falls from Buffalo, so we got there relatively early. That's good because you can tell A LOT of people visit. It really has a tourist-y side, no surprise. But if you just want to get out and walk, it is something terrific.

There are several places where you stand right next to where the water drops off. I felt my stomach doing a little flip just standing there. I grabbed onto the kids when they leaned over the rails, the way kids do. The girls liked hearing about people going over the falls in a barrel. "What, are they crazy??" they wondered. Out of the mouths of babes....
