Niagra Falls Vacation

We took some well needed vacation time with the kids. Kind of my last hooray before I head back to work (boo!). We spent 3 days in Niagra Falls at the Embassy Suite. A lovely view of the Falls and surrounding area.

Some of the hotel extras were crazy!!! We enjoyed a buffet breakfast every morning overlooking the falls. And every evening, what's known as the Manager's Reception, which consisted of coupons for alcoholic beverages (6 drinks), unlimited non-alcoholic beverages, a buffet of various snacks such as veggies and dip, nacho's and salsa, pretzels, peanuts and most importantly (and to Anthony's demise), candy!! Let's just say the diets were off for the trip! Isaac posing with the treats.

There was also an arcade and games area. The kids (or just Isaac) enjoying some of the games.



There was lots to do. We spent a day at Clifton hill doing different things. Isaac in the funhouse. This was the crooked room. Everything was sloped downwards. My vertigo didn't agree with this room.

Inside the Adventure Playground.

We also went in the Haunted House but I was too scared to take any photos.

We took walks down the strip (to burn off all the crap we ate!). You can see our hotel in the distance.

Another day we took the kids to Fallsview Indoor Waterpark. This place was amazing. It was completly covered, had lots of waterslides, a wave pool, and a splash pad area for the little ones. Claire having some fun.

After the waterpark, we went to the Hershey Chocolate factory. A photo with the Hershey kiss.

Isaac and Anthony also did a boat ride called Maid of the Mist. This took you up close to the base of the falls.

Some family pictures.

Isaac and I enjoying our post waterpark ice-cream cones.

Daddy and Claire. Anthony and his Dad have this same photo. We tried to mimic it here. When I find their photo I'll post it.

Daddy and the kids. Anthony is on a sugar high and Isaac coming down from his sugar high. Claire just wants to get up and walk around! She did so much of this on her own. She made great progess with this while we were away!

A family photo.

And lastly, the newest family member.....MY NEW COACH PURSE!!

This was such a steal! Original price $398 + tax and I scored it at the Coach outlet for $145 + tax!!!!!!! This truly made the trip worth it. I have the family of my dreams, and now the purse of my dreams!
