Vacation 2016, Day 5

Got a little behind here with downloading photos and our last travel day.  So going to catch up over the next couple days.  When I wrap up with the final day I will also give out some  of my opinion on the venues we were at.  Day 5 (Thursday) was definitely the best day of our vacation.  Michelle, Brenda and I were the first ones up and we went down to iHop, which was in the lobby of the hotel.  We quickly discovered how expensive it is to eat in Canada.  Breakfast was very good, however seemed to be twice as much as we would spend at home.  We took our leftovers back to the rooms and Jay Jay and Kayla ate, then we headed out.

Walking from the hotel the falls were only 10-15 minutes away.  The city of Niagara Falls, Canada is very nice, the sun was out and the temperature was perfect.  Great weather for a walk around town.
This was my first time to the falls and they are just incredible!  I took many photos and am going to post some of the best ones here.








Housekeeping took good care of Brendan's friends!

So we retreated to the hotel to get cleaned up and ready for dinner.  We took a little break and went down to the pool. That was a great decision and was very refreshing.  We relaxed in the room for a while and then headed out for dinner.  Included in our hotel package were several vouchers.  One was for dinner.  So Michelle, Brendan and I had one table and Jay Jay and Kayla had made separate reservations to take advantage of the vouchers that we had.

So we left the hotel and after looking at the time we needed to walk fast.  This was our destination.

The Keg in Emabassy Suites.

The Kegg is a chain restaurant in Canada.  It was located on the 9th floor of the Embassy Suites Hotel.  We had a view of the falls from the restaurant.

We would take the Falls Incline Railway down to the falls after dinner.  The restaurant was very nice and our waitress was wonderful.  We ordered an appetizer and our meals.

Michelle's Steak dinner

Chicken and Ribs!

The food was very good.  We all enjoyed it.  After dinner we headed back down to the falls.







The falls at night were beautiful.  God's creation at it's finest!  

We thought that there would be fireworks, but after a quick check we found that they were on Wednesday night and then on Friday. So we would miss them.  We were very tired so we headed back to the hotel and settled in for the night.

Next up, day 6.  Travel day.

End of Summer

The Best Time to Bike! On Saturday I traveled with Raymond to the Bear Claw Epic.  This was the second annual race and the second time up there for Raymond and I.  We got there with plenty of time to spare and got ready to go. Farley ready to go. I registered for Beginner Fat Bike or at least I thought so?  I felt pretty good and knowing that I only had one lap to do I went all out.  I passed several riders through the race and felt I did pretty good.  This course has a lot of climbing and rewards you with some nice downhills. After I finished my race I put on a fresh shirt and went out on the course with the camera and my new lens.  I took over 400 pictures and headed back to the start finish after Raymond finished his race. Raymond on his second lap. And the final climb. The beginner awards were going on and they announced my name as first place for Beginner Men 50-59.  I was surprised, but did not protest.  Aft...

January 27, 2012

It has been a while since an update and the common cold has been working its way through the family.  Michelle and the boys have got the worst of it so far.  It has slowed me down but has not put me down.  Hopefully it won't get me completely.  It did cause Michelle to miss 2 days of work and I missed one.  We both missed Financial Peace University last night, we will have to watch the video.  It has caused me to miss some training. However, I did manage to get on the trainer 2 days this week and hopefully again tomorrow. Dad had a procedure today and all was well.  Had to get up early and pick him up.  He had the procedure at Covenant so I was able to work for a while when he was in.  We went out to lunch afterwards and then had a good visit with him and mom. This winter continues to be mild as we again are having above normal temperatures.  We had snow last night and most of it melted today.  They are call...
