A little get-away

Greg has been super busy with work and stuff, when things calmed down, I was determined to get out of town!  (bonus* Greg had a free car rental, so we took advantage of that!)  The kiddos had a 1/2 day of school, so we took off on Friday afternoon and drove to Erie, PA.  Our dear friends have lived there for almost as long as we have lived here, and yet, we have not visited... seemed like a good time to go.  And while we were at it, we drove the rest of the way to Niagara Falls!  Greg and I busted out our brand-new passports and took off :) 






We just had to do lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, it seemed too funny.  I haven't been there since the 80's and Greg in the 90's. 


Off to the falls....
We decided to park and walk across to the Canadian side. 
 On the border. 


 The only thing we did was go behind the falls.  It was pretty fun. 

 One reason we didn't take the boat is, it was COLD!  It even snowed a little while we were there!  But the other reason is, Parker started saying his stomach was hurting. 
Yoda, "I got an eye-patch"

We started walking back across the bridge, the photo above is just seconds before Parker lost his dinner all over the walkway.  Sorry Canada! 

They lit us the Falls a little early, we were so worried we would miss it.  It was so beautiful! We drove home that night.  So worth the trip!
