Niagara Falls, Canada
Labor Day Weekend 2012- Road trip....
surprised the kids with a trip to Niagara Falls, Canada. Woke up that morning and just decided we were going to go, so we told the kids to pack their bags and after school and work we were going to hit the road.
School got out early so we were on the road by 3:00. The kids still had no idea where we were going, but they were very excited and it was a lot of fun playing guessing games on the way there.
Niagara Falls, Canada is about an 11 hour drive from where we live so we decided we would drive until we got tired and spend the night there, wake up early and hit the road for the remainder of the drive. We ended up staying in Flint, Michigan that night which was about a 5 1/2 hour drive from home.

I apologize for the poor quality photos but the Falls look so stunning at night with the full moon shining down on them. This picture definitley does not do it justice.
