Cross Country Roadtrip Day #9

Tourist day! Niagara Falls is absolutely incredible!! We were on the Canadian side and I would definitely recommend it over the American side (better views). So we had to do all the touristy things that must be done...boat tour, waterpark, golf, walking around the falls, and eating.
Started the morning with the ultimate "must-do" - we took the traditional Maid of the Mist boat tour around (and very close to) the falls.
Nathan was super excited about the American Falls...I think???
And I seemed to have some difficulties getting into my poncho.
We got really close to the American Falls first and Nathan almost got blown out of the boat. Very wet and windy. So much power.

Then we spun around underneath the Horseshoe Falls and I felt like I was going to get blown out. Much crazier than it is depicted in movies. Our heads were kind of soaked after all that.

Had to spend some time at North America's largest indoor waterpark after that. Hardly anyone there either, so we went down the 8 main slides repeatedly. What a work out walking up the tower of steps!
Next Nathan really wanted to play at Oak Hall Par 3 Golf Course. Beautiful grounds and clubhouse!


Look at that great shot off the first tee...
And how about those beautiful putts...

Unfortunately, by Hole 14 I was done...

So we ate some dinner and then enjoyed Horseshoe Falls at night once again.
