Our first day at Niagara Falls

We departed for our trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada on Tuesday night about 11:30pm. We arrived, Wednesday, May 19th at about 7:30am. Obviously we had not really seen any of the Falls yet but I was so excited to have finally arrived. We were truly exhausted.

While I had called the hotel prior to our arrival to confirm various things regarding payment, obviously when you arrive there is always a different story. Isn't that always the case? I don't think there has ever been a time where I have gotten the same information over the phone as I have when getting to a place in person.

Finally, even after a long night of consistent driving with only 2 breaks along the way, we found the energy to get our first glimpse of the Falls. Michael and I were in awe. Everything was so beautiful. I could not wait to see them up close.

After a quick view we arrived in our room to take a long needed rest. I was so anxious to be there I don't know how I managed to close my eyes and get to sleep. After a few hours of rest we got up and went to dinner at Mandarin. I have never been there and was looking forward to some Chinese buffet. I was trying not to run Michael ragged but I really wanted to see the Falls and could almost not wait till the following morning. Of course we did get a nice view from our hotel room window however.

So, keeping in mind that I did not want to annoy my honey by driving him crazy, I tried desperately to put a cap on my energy level and just remind myself, "patience and faith Lisa, you will see the Falls up close in the morning."
