Travel Tuesday: Niagara Falls, Ontario

One of my new favorite places to visit is Niagara Falls on the Canadian side.  I went back in March when my parents came with me to visit Steve's family and it was the first time I had seen the falls. Although it was freezing cold and my ears were completely numb, the views were breathtaking.  

I went back to Niagara Falls last weekend when I took a couple days off work and decided to enjoy a much needed long weekend in Canada. The weather was amazing and the views were better than I had remembered. 

Next time I go, I would love to go on one of these boat tours. They take you right into the falls! 

 

If you're ever able to check out the falls, do so! They also light off fireworks every evening at dusk, and they are magnificent. This place attracts so many visitors and tourists from all over the world, and it's so great to see the blend of cultures that are gathered around taking photos.
It's really a sight to see.

A Family Weekend in Canada

Laura here-

Long time, no post. We apologize! :-P

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. I thought I would do a post on catching up, since SO much has happened since we last posted.

Two weekends ago (Friday, March 8th) I took the day off work and headed up to Canada with my parents.  Yep, my parents came to meet Steve's parents. Huge, I know.
For those who don't already know, Steven and I have been together since October and he is from Ontario, Canada.  We met down in Nashville, Tennessee, but that's an epic love story for another time. ;]

So anyway, the big meet and greet with the parents went really great! We met up Friday night at Walker's Fish Market in Burlington.

Saturday we headed up to Niagara Falls with my parents where we drove through several wineries, walked around, got splashed on by water falls, and saw some rainbows.

 

That same night, Steve had a gig at the Dirty Dog Saloon in Hamilton, ON.  It was a fun night of spending time with my family, his family, and all of his best friends

On Sunday, we grabbed breakfast and headed back to Grand Rapids together.  Steve spent the week here in Michigan where he played some gigs with the very talented Kari Lynch, perform at open mic night, and spend some lazy days with myself and Syrus.

I hope you all have a fabulous week!
