Boy, am I behind with blogging!  This is hard to keep up with full time job.  Anyway, here are some photos from family vacation at Niagara Falls (Canadian View) this past June. By the way if you're planning a trip for 10+ people, decide on how you'll split shared costs such as food, car rental, gasoline, etc. I ended up paying all, but was the family trip worth it?  Absolutely! We bonded and disagreed (sometimes). It was a great 'reconnection' opportunity. Even today, we talk about it. I might suggest that we make this into a family tradition.

American Falls (left) and Canadian Horseshoe Falls (right). To enjoy the Horseshoe Falls, climb the tower for couple of dollars. It's too foggy to see anything from land level.

This is Horseshoe Falls view standing right next to it on a ledge (left). I wanted to capture how "thick" the water is flowing. It flows roaring fast - literally. The water chops away about 8 ft. of cliff every year. Compare that with 8 ft. of glacier falling every day in Alaska.

The guide said a handful of people attempted to jump from it (why would anyone do that, I don't know) and only two survived - one of two being a little boy who fell by accident.

The photo on the right is up-close-and-personal view of Horseshoe Falls. We were on "Maid of the Mist" boat that took us about 100 ft. from the fall. It was so tall that it was painful to arch my neck and look up. The sheer amount of water falling down was just un-describable. Try taking a shower underneath, you'll be bald that instant.
