2 major blog posts in one night! Don’t get used to it. I’m just super excited that I got all my pictures loaded and I’m ready to share. 
A while back I saw an episode of The Office where Jim and Pam run off to Niagara Falls to get married. While Jim and Pam where falling in love with each other, I was falling in love with all that water! I must have mentioned it a few times because when The Scientist and I started talking about where to go for my 30th birthday Niagara Falls made the list of places to visit. Now that I have “been there, done that” I can tell you that I made the perfect decision!
Rather than bore you with all the details of our trip, I will let the photos do the talking. A photo is worth a million words…and all that jazz.
We made it to Buffalo!
View of the Falls from the room. I just noticed my big toe is making a guest appearance too.
Getting up and close to the Falls!
We left the cold to go to even colder.
A view of the American Falls and Rainbow Bridge, which connects the US to Canada.
Journey to Behind the Falls
Canadian’s and their humor…eh? I believe Americans call these just boring ol’ fingerless gloves.
Niagara Falls is like the Las Vegas of Canada!
Although the Falls were my original reason for going to Canada, after a little investigating Niagara-On-The-Lake came on my radar. NOL is the land of vineyards, wine and Great Lakes.
One of my favorite stops, Ravine. The little house to the right is the restaurant that is run by a Food Network Canada chef, Anna Olson.
Look how sleek their bottles are!
A stop at Stratus to try some great ice wine in red AND white.
Jackson-Triggs was our official tour. We checked out the whole facility, learned a little about making wine and had a nice little private tasting.
Southbrook Vineyards was one of the more unique wineries. They are biodynamic and are the home to sheep who eat and fertalize the ground. This was our last wine stop and we ended it with a flight of ice wines…mmmm.
In addition to visiting the wineries, I also got to see my 3rd Great Lake, Lake Ontario!
Over the two days in NOL we visited MANY wineries, ate at some great restaurants, and enjoyed a wonderful bed & breakfast. Eventually it was time to head back home, but not without a final good-bye to the Falls.
It was a great birthday weekend combined with a wondeful Valentine’s Day! I will be back and I’m coming to find my pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
