We celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary!

This is only a small view of what the streets look like in Niagara on the Lake. It is the most beautiful place, but having said that, it is quite expensive! At least, during the tourist season.

My dh wanted to see a play at the Shaw Festival. So we booked tickets for King Charles' Golden Days which meant that we had to stay an extra day here, hmmm, not so bad an idea. We walked the streets and checked out all the little boutiques. Lots of art galleries and little stores with pottery.etc.



This was our spectacular room at the Hilton's Embassy Suites for our stay in Niagara Falls. We stayed there one night, our anniversary night and then we moved onto Niagara On the Lake. They had alot of B&B's there, but unfortunately they had no vacancies. I had wanted to book on line but dh wanted to "wing it" for this holiday and the only room he let me prebook was this one. I am not a great "winging it" kind of gal but I did it for this week. We actually had pretty good luck with finding rooms when we wanted them.



And this was the view from our suite. It was breath taking. We did go on the Maid of the Mist ride and that took our breath away too, but because it was windy and extremely wet!! We stood on the top and in the front, probably the windiest and wettest place to be on the entire boat, but we did get a good look at the falls!
All in all, it was a great holiday, we enjoyed our time together and even though it was very hot and humid, we did get to see alot of countryside.
