Travel Log Part 2: Niagara Falls

After an amazing time in Boston, we flew to Buffalo, NY. We picked up our rental car and made our way to Niagara Falls. I was giddy with excitement! Here are some of the highlights of this wonderfully romantic part of our trip:
1. Room with a view. Pictures can't begin to capture the view of falls that we enjoyed from our hotel room.


The American Falls from our room.

The Canadian Falls from our room.

2. Dinner at our hotel overlooking the falls. It's always fun to splurge on a fancy meal every now and then.

3. Cleansing of the palate. Our dinner included a lemon sorbet course between the salad and entree. It's purpose, so we were told, was to cleanse the palate before partaking of our main dish. I'm not so sure the food tasted any better because of it but it was fun! I told Jon that I was going to start serving him sorbet prior to my dishing up the mac and cheese at home!:)

4. Chocolate mousse cake! Gotta love that!

5. The falls at night. The falls are lit with various colors of light that change slowly throughout the night. We sat gazing at them as we dined on our out-of-this-world dinner.


6. The thunderous roar of the water and cold mist on your face. It really was refreshing and a wonder to behold. It was hard to say good-bye!
