Grad Trip- Niagara Falls

Niagara falls was a BLAST. I highly highly recommend you go if you haven't yet!! 

We were able to find a sweet deal on our hotel on groupon which came with a bunch of resturant vouchers, you can find that info here. We quickly discovered that even with the vouchers we still couldn't afford it! Ruth Chris steak house for example, we had a $100 voucher. You would think that would be good for the two of us, trouble was that it was only applicable if you ordered two entres and they were ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS EACH NOT INCLUDING SIDES OMG. 

Even east side marios was a solid $10 more per plate. Brutal. 

Parking was $20 no matter where you went and we already had to pay $20 a night for parking at our hotel. So we walked everywhere. We got in some serious steps! 

What we ended up doing is driving away from the main strip and buying deli food from sobeys. The hotels there don't have fridges either so thats annoying.



Our ride on maid in the mist, Arlie did AMAZINGLY! It was really cool!



Walking back up from the boat ride we met the hawk that is in charge of bird control around the falls. It was pretty funny because we were just walking along and I said oh Mark look, a hawk! and he was looking in the sky saying where where? I was like right there! and he's like WHERE?! And the lady was like, right here! hahaha


So when we walked back up from the maid in the mist it took us way further down then where we had started but we just went with it. There was so much going on including an Elvis lol. 

We ended up accidently finding the actual entertainment strip! That's where the Hard Rock Cafe, Rainforest Cafe, Ripleys museum, Haunted Houses, Dinosaurs, all kinds of really cool things. We went into rainforest cafe to look around and ended up sitting at the bar drinking slushies out of these cups lololol. 


Being BA at the falls at night.
