July 18--Niagara, NY, and PA

On our way back to the States, we figured it would be ridiculous to drive right past Niagara and not stop.











After a trip to Build A Bear Workshop to find an outfit Ashlynn's been searching for (we did find the scuba suit), we spent a little time at the Ripley's Believe It or Not museum.










Then we found the falls. We visited the American side a few years ago when Angel, her parents, and Ashlynn went to Ohio to visit her Aunt Lyn. This is the part of the falls they saw from the American side.









And this is Horseshoe Falls, the best part.













Here are both falls together. Angel tends to agree, however, with Oscar Wilde's thought on the falls:

"The Niagara Falls is simply a vast amount of water going the wrong way over some unnecessary rocks; the sight of that waterfall must be one of the earliest and keenest disappointments in American married life."




And we're on the way home! The officer at the border was a bit taken back by how much stuff was packed into our car, but we did not have to unpack and go though it all. Thank goodness!










This is one sign Angel never thought she'd be so happy to see!












We made it to Pennsylvania for the night.













We were able to enjoy a Fribble from Friendly's we've heard so much about from Candy and Damon. Very tasty and highly recommended.
