Thinking of Travel

As spring and summer seasons come, I start to get wanderlust. Especially with a husband in a PhD program, we're eager for some time to play together after an intense year.

I'd like to share some highlights from some of our favorite trips, in hopes that it inspires you in your travels.

First up - Niagara Falls! Booming water, images of 1950s honeymooners, astounding natural beauty... it's a fun and classically American place to visit. Not to mention that it's the spot for many movies and novels...

My husband and I took a brief trip to Niagara en route to Toronto for a wedding. We stayed in the Red Coach Inn - where you can hear the sounds of falls and watch the rush of water. We loved staying there. (I wouldn't recommend their restaurant, though.) I'm pretty sure the wedding from "The Office" took place here!

The main thing you mustn't miss is the boat ride to the base of the falls - it takes your breath away. And you get soaked. And you have FUN! Go to Maid of the Mist. You can also visit the museums to learn more about the Falls history and some of the crazy stuff people have done there. Barrels over the fall?? REALLY??

Enjoy some images and start dreaming about travel!
