Niagara Falls and Oh Canada!

Today we started off the day by leaving our campground around 10am.  We were only about 6 miles from the Falls, and so it was a pretty simple drive.  We had some interesting parking challenges, but oh well.

The first thing we decided to do is go on the Maid of the Mist boat tour.    

Brayden, Riley, and I wearing our cool “souvenir mist ponchos”.  It did get wet in some spots and Carter was not too happy about it. :)

All of us in front of the water just before entering the Falls.

 

After the Falls, we went on a walk over to Goat Island.  We walked on the bridge shown in the previous picture.

Here is Carter expressing his happiness while playing with the rope as we walked to Goat Island.

After finishing with Niagara Falls, we drove across the Rainbow Bridge and entered Canada in the Ontario Province.

It took me a little getting used to driving in Canada with all the metric system.  After about 30 minutes, I started getting the hang of the speed limit, the signs telling me how far certain places were, etc. 

This appears to be directed towards all those “crazy Americans” that use miles per hour and have no idea how to read the km/h on their speedometers, The numbers on the speedometer were so small that I gave up and used the speed provided by my GPS in km/h.

 

We are likely to spend 1 more night in the Toronto area in order to see as much as we can in this area before we go back to the U.S. through Michigan.
