July 12 = Day 16

Synopsis:  293.9 miles driven; 5.5 hours on the road; Cobleskill, NY to Niagara Falls, ON; Visited Niagara Falls

We slept in for our second day in a row and had a leisurely type morning around Grandma and Grandpa Friend's and Aunt Loey and Uncle Terri's house. We ate lunch there before setting out on the road for Niagara Falls. Grandma and Grandpa Friend (based on their many years of experience driving school buses into Niagara Falls) recommended that we cross into Canada through the Peace bridge rather than the Rainbow bridge and then take the scenic Niagara Parkway or Niagara Boulevard. We did and it was a smooth crossing and a wonderful drive. Again, we were looking for a moose along the way but this is as close as we got.

Once in Niagara Falls, we wandered around the Falls area - our hotel is a half mile from the Falls and on the River Road running along the Falls (we can see the American Falls and Rainbow Bridge from our hotel room balcony). We stayed out late to see the illumination of the Falls so it is late and thus my blog will be short for tonight. In one week, we will be home.

Hotel Deal of the Day: One night at Michael's Inn for $0 by using Delta frequent flyer miles that Lisa had earned.
