First Day in Niagara

After a great sleep headed off to explore Niagara.  Super hotel the Radisson is! Great location and can walk to everything! Went down to the falls, of course! Plenty of people as its summer vacation for the kids for a couple of weeks! We went up and had lunch at the Skytower - great views unsurprisingly! Waiting for our lunch the boys had to bring out their competitiveness and have a car race! Daryl won, John got the fastest lap and Mick wasn't sure where to put the tokens! He did catch up in the end though. A game of hoop ball was also had,  that Johns insisting I mention that he won. Had a lot of fun!
Organised our tours for tomorrow then off to see how kind the Casino was going to be to us. A competition between the girls and boys had the girls $400 boys $0 - say no more! Even buying a drink at the bar you can play poker or keno on a screen whilst waiting to be served - unbelievable!
After that it was dinner at Margaritaville! Have to always go in to one of these wherever we are and John could actually order a Beer Margarita - who'd have thought! It wasn't bad either. I had a watermelon one Trish, which was fantastic!
Well plenty of laughs again, a few quiet wines back in Daz and Lu's room - ha! And off to sleep. Looking forward to our tours today.
Sorry, photos a bit out of order but you'll get the idea!

We're here!!

Boys will be boys!

  1. The weather looks good. Hope it keeps up for the next 6 weeks! Great views of the falls, good luck when you get much. much closer tomorrow, don't get too wet under the falls!!! Looks like you are having a very relaxing time of it there, another few hours at the casino and you'll have paid for the whole trip....as long as you keep the boys away!! Love Pam and Vernon

  2. Aren't the falls amazing! Brings back such great memories! I'm sure the watermelon drink was delicious however what a waste of watermelon- should only ever be eaten! Currently watching the Broncos and South game. Broncos leading at present, 10 minutes in to game, hope they can keep it up. Doing a great job with the photos Deb! Love T & G xx
