Highlights from Niagara Falls

We were only there for 3 days and 2 nights which was not even enough but we made the best of it.

Right after we crossed the border, we stopped for dinner at Denny's. Before Triston took his first bite, he pulled his tooth out. Eewwww (dinner wasn't the same after seeing that). Then the next problem was...Does Canada have a tooth fairy? We didn't know but Triston put his tooth under his pillow just in case. Guess what happened? The next morning, he checked under his pillow and found a $5 Canadian Bill. How Cool!

We had to do the speed limit. They have aerial patrol and we were listening to the radio and the announcer was talking about a speeder being imprisoned for 7 days. We did see this sign, which was enough for us.Our room was awesome. The main room had two queen beds, a very big flat screen TV, desk, and a little kitchen area with a microwave, sink, and small refrigerator. We had several closets. Another room had a dining room table and chairs. The third room was complete with a set of bunk beds, a flat screen TV and a DVD player.

Triston and Tara woke up before any of us and were quick to turn on their TV. They were disappointed to find all the cartoon channels except one in French. They were not thrilled watching cartoons that they couldn't understand.

The first night Terry and I took one queen bed, Cam took the one next to us, Triston took the top bunk and Tara got the bottom bunk. All was good for all of us except Cam. Apparently Terry was snoring really loud and he couldn't sleep. He ended up taking the laptop into the bathroom, closing the door and chatted with friends since sleep, for him, was out of the question.

The second night, Tara wanted a turn on the top bunk but that upset Triston. He refused to sleep on the bottom bunk and climbed into Cam's bed. Cam removed him several times before he finally gave up. Triston's persistence paid off.


Oh...I can't forget. The "Kissing Rock". It took us a couple hours to find this place. Even their mailman couldn't help us out with directions. We were determined though because whoever kisses at this rock receives good luck and happiness. (you never know)
