Day 8 and 9 of our trip!

On our final 2 days of our trip we did a lot. On day 8 we drove from Syracuse to Buffalo. I was really excited about this part of the trip....

We went for.... WINGS!!!

Before...

After....

We stopped at none other than the Anchor Bar. Home of the original Buffalo Chicken Wing!!!



After lunch we took a hop and a skip over to Niagara Falls. We stayed state side for this visit.


I snapped a picture of this picture because it was amazing to see. It all started with a large chunk of ice that clogged up the water upstream. It is really cool to see a picture of this.

John and I checked out all parts of the falls. This is the American Falls...



American Falls...


This is a view of the Canadian side from the American Side... that is where John and I visited the last time we went...

We stood at the edge and you could feel the spray of water...

This is the Horseshoe Falls (the Canadian part of the falls.)

It is so cool to see the water just disappear.

It creates a beautiful color...

This is a picture of the stream rushing towards the falls.

And this little guy was in the park there. None of us had ever seen a black squirrel with a brown tail. It was so cool to see.


On our last day, before we drove all the way back to VA, we took a detour with the team. We got to go to Cooperstown, NY, to the Baseball Hall of Fame. John and I had never been there.


This is a picture of the scanned line-up card from the 1979 World Series game when John's dad was playing with the Pirates.


This is John standing in the Hall of Fame.

Here he is posing with a statue of Babe Ruth...

After the Hall of Fame we had to get on the road back home. I think there was some sort of Hot Air Balloon Festival in West VA/ VA, because we kept seeing balloons.

It was a pretty and sunny ride back. We made it home a safe and sound.

We hope to get to go to Canada again in a couple years. We were so blessed to get to go!
