Explore the Roar!

We've officially lived in Toronto for about 6 weeks now and in that time we've seen a lot of what Toronto has to offer... but this weekend we decided it was time to see the ultimate of all tourist attractions... it was time for us to explore the roar of Niagra Falls! And as a special treat Lyn and Ryan were in town to join us!

Niagra Falls is only a short 90 minute drive from us... and from the moment we arrived we were in awe of the beauty and power of the falls....
 But of course we could not be satisfied just with the views from above.... we would have to see the falls closer and that meant going on the Maid of the Mist... a boat ride that takes you up close and personal to the falls....
 Please note that this is our before the falls picture.....

First we put on our souvenier raincoats....


And then we got up close and personal with the falls! This is the first waterfall on the tour...it was pretty spectacular but we needed to see the magic of the famous Horseshoe Falls...
And what a sight it was...
it was spectacular....
it was powerful....
and it got us very, very wet....these are our after photos!


Today we were able to see one of the seven wonders of the natural world.....whatever shall we do tomorrow? We're off to see one of the seven wonders of the modern world - the CN Tower! I'd say it's turning out to be a pretty wonderful weekend!
