Canada Trip

The first weekend of May, we headed up to Canada for our post-tax season trip (and Tommy was out of school).

Tom picked me up from work on Thursday night and we drove the 3 1/2 hours to Niagara Falls. We got there pretty late Thursday night (around 10) and our hotel was prefect. The room had a view of the American and Canadian Falls.

Friday, we had breakfast at the hotel and then drove over to the Fallsview Indoor Water Park. It was so much fun and since it was a school day, the place wasn't crowded at all. I don't know who had more fun--us or the kids. Tom and I went on quite a few water slides and I even convinced Tommy to go with me 3 times.

Tommy also lost a tooth while we were in the wave pool! The tooth had been loose, but one of the waves hit the tube just right and Tommy bumped his face on the tube and knocked the tooth out.

Friday night, we had dinner at The Keg restaurant in our hotel and then spent the rest of the night in the hotel.

We even got to see fireworks Friday night

Saturday, we had breakfast and then walked to Clifton Hill. I had purchased passes online, so we got to do quite a few things (mini-golf, 3D roller coaster, museum, etc.) Tommy even had a wax hand made (Ironman).

We played some games at the Midway (I thought this mini Skee Ball was so cute)

We did get some bar-b-que that this cute little restaurant. It reminded me of Texas - how the inside was decorated.

Sometimes you just need a beer.

After stopping at a few more places, we walked back to the hotel alongside the falls. It was so pretty (and a little chilly) and rode the incline back up to our hotel.

Tommy and I took a little rest

We drove home Sunday morning and since it was mother's day, I convinced Tom to stop at the outlet malls so I could do a little shopping.

We stopped at the duty free store and Grace got some Kit Kats

It was such a fun trip that on the way home the kids were asking when we could go back.
