Niagara Falls
Since the Holicks travel for Thanksgiving and Spring Break, we decided an educational roadtrip would be a great experience over the summer and a fun little getaway. We chatted about several locations and finally landed on Niagara Falls. The drive is between 5-6 hours which is manageable and the kids did great with only one pit stop each way. We spent Friday and Saturday night at the Marriott by the Falls which was nice since they do fireworks each night and we were able to watch them directly from our room. Eric and I were a little disappointed that the history museum was not open but we were able to track down the original IMAX movie at some random theater to show the kids and everyone enjoyed it. Especially Nolan! He loved learning about the falls and even did some of his own research on the people who have gone over the falls on the way home from our trip.
The rest of our time was spent putt-putting, riding go carts, checking out the ferris wheel, heading into the bell of the falls on a boat charter, and having dinner at Skylon Tower. We made the most of our short time and had a lot of fun doing so.
