On Tuesday we took off for Niagra Falls. It was about 7 to 8 degrees as we were driving up there. We thought about not going, but then decided we were so close and didn't know when we would be back up there again, so we went. We parked and literally froze as we were walking to the American Falls, it was windy and very cold. The Falls were neat to see, or at least what we could see. This is definitely not the place to see during the winter. We drove over to Goat Island, which is where the observation deck is during the summer, as we got out of the car we were wondering why it was raining on us when there wasn't any clouds above us. We walked to the one lookout spot took a quick picture and ran back to the car. On the way back to the car we realized that the mist from the Falls was freezing as it went up in the air, as it came back down on us it was raining and as it landed on us it was freezing again. Our coats were frozen when we got back to the car. We can now say we have been there. It is cool to look across Lake Erie and see Canada. Kinda Fun.
We then finished off driving into Kirtland. We got in around 5:00 and drove around for a minute and saw that the Kirtland Visitor's Center was still open. We went inside and they had a Creche' exhibit going on. They had made an I Spy with the Creche' to help with the kids attention spans. Our kids helped each other out and were able to find them all. We went back to our Hotel, ate dinner and went to bed.
