Day 7 in Niagara Falls, NY...

After we left Grandma and Grandpa's we headed up to Niagara Falls.  We stopped on the way to see where Tony was born and the house he lived in as a baby.  Then, we did the "Cave of the Winds" tour and the "Maid of the Mist" boat ride in Niagara and we also viewed the Falls from the American side on Goat Island.  We finished off our day at the "Anchor Bar and Grill - Home of the Original Buffalo Wings- in Buffalo for dinner.  And went and saw where Tony lived when he was a toddler.  It was a very fun day and we had great weather.
 Here is the cottage Tony lived in as a baby.  
 Getting ready for our "Cave of the Winds" tour.
 "Cave of the Winds" walks you right up to the Falls and you get pretty wet.  It was amazing to see the Falls so close and to see the power of the rushing water over the Falls.  Breathtaking!!!
 I am at the top of this deck, "Hurricane Deck" getting drenched.  The girls did not want to join me up here.  This deck is right below the "Bridle Veil Falls."
The girls on Goat Island with the "Horseshoe Falls" behind them.
 Looking down on the "Bridal Veil Falls" and "Cave of the Winds."  There was a beautiful rainbow in the mist of the Falls.
