It was only a 4 hour drive to Niagara Falls from our place and Jaxon did pretty well in the car.
Our very first view of the falls.
Jaxon's first view of the Falls.
Exploring around Niagara Falls.
The area around the Falls (Clifton Hill) was kind of "Vegas" like to us, with lots of attractions, TONS of haunted houses and wax museums and lots of lights, food, and sounds. It was fun walking around.
We got to do a couple of the Niagara Falls Experience type things too. Our favorite by far was the Maid of the Mist boat ride. In the picture below, you can see how close these boats get to the falls.
Here's us getting ready to board the boat. I was impressed they even had little kid size rain ponchos for Jaxon.
Unfortunately, the rain ponchos didn't do much to keep the spray of the falls off of us and we ended up getting soaked. You can barely see Jack and Chris behind all the other tourists in the spray of the falls.
But it was pretty cool to get so close to the falls.
We also did the Walk Behind the Falls.
All in all, it was a FABULOUS vacation. What a fun get away that really wasn't too far away. We got to enjoy some good food and great weather too. Sorry for all the pictures, but if you didn't get enough, we have more here. :o)

Wow! Looks like a lot of fun! I can't wait to go one of these days!
Wow, I've always wanted to go there. This just makes it even more desirable. How cool that you live so close!
Looks so fun! Considering our conversation the other night about Jack & playing tourist, I'd say y'all did great! Love all the great pics.
That's so cool. It's cool to think that we were the same place you guys were! We were there in the winter, though, so no luck on the Maid of the Mist, or going behind the Falls. That looks so fun. Nice vacay!
Oh, I love the tulip picture of Jaxon! I hope I can go there someday! It looks awesome!
