Day 1 in Niagara Falls!




We made it to Niagara Falls last night. We left Ottawa at 10:30 am and got here at 5:20 pm. It was a long drive but it passed quickly. We had a good time listening to cd's and then playing some driving games. We used our GPS to get there and everything went well except for the fact that it kept wanting us to take the shortest route and that would mean having to pass on the American side and we didn't have our passports.




We went for a walk last night to familiarize ourselves with the sites around our hotel. Here is Gerry in front of the Canadian horseshoe falls. After we had seen the falls we wanted to go back to the hotel. We're staying at the Courtyard Marriot. Gerry asked a guard where it was and he gave us the directions for the Marriot hotel. So we ended up going to the wrong hotel and were lost....lol



Our room has a balcony and this is the view from the balcony. It's beautiful!



We have the Presidential Suite, complete with jacuzzi and fireplace...very romantic!







And to top off our day, we had fireworks just outside our room in the park below. Fantastic!
