6/1 - Last day at the Falls

Canadian Falls from the US side.

American Falls from the US side.



It's raining....a little, but we decided to head out anyway. You get wet at the Falls, so if it's raining, so what! LOL
We got to the Falls and paid $10 to park. Walked a few blocks through a beautiful garden and there they were. We could hear them long before we saw them. We walked along the rapids for a bit. Glad you can't fall in! It's fast!
There must have been 10 bus loads of kids at the Falls and the park! Every time they stopped on their tour, we went around them. Managed to stay out of their way most of the morning.
The Falls are great, but really are better viewed from the Canadian side. Still it was exciting to get as close as you can from the US side.
We stopped for lunch at the Restaurant at the Top of the Falls. We had a great waiter named John. He and a friend are getting ready to travel the US filming a web TV show. Good luck, John! Let us know when you get to Alabama!
back to the RV for a nap! It was worth about 2 hours, which for me is a LONG nap! Then it was time for errands.
I needed to refill two prescriptions so we headed to Wal-Mart. It took about an hour to get it done and let's say I won't be going back to that Wal-Mart store EVER! It was more of an experience than I can say here!
Off to the grocery store and it was much quieter and calmer! I enjoy looking at the different foods that we don't have at home.
David cooked Parmesan encrusted tilapia, mashed potatoes, and fresh asparagus for dinner (I actually did the asparagus). He also cooked lava cakes for dessert. It's too much for us, so he's also feeding two of our neighbors.
Stephanie called to tell us that Patrick (youngest grandson) was on the way to the ER. He tripped over his feet and his nose struck a wooden chair. She found a piece of cartilage in the floor and had the presence of mind to grab it, too! She later called to say his nose wasn't broken, and they'll scope his nose on Monday to see where the cartilage is from.
Well, I'm tired and it's late. We're off to Gettysburg tomorrow for a couple of days!
See ya down the road!
Jenny :)

Well, sounds like Steph will be known at the ER just like Ernie's mom was...they saw her coming and they would ask - which one is it this time...Ernie or Brad? LOL!
