Trip to NY Part 4

After Letchworth and the pageant, we were off to Niagara Falls. We drove first to a town called Niagara on the Lake, where we rode the Whirlpool Jet Boat. The boat is specifically designed to go fast and crash through rapids (Class 5), getting you completely soaked. The Travel Channel filmed our run, which was cool. After the jet boat we ate lunch at The Buttery, a tavern in Niagara on the Lake that has delicious brie and jalapeno jelly.

While in Niagara Falls, we did the White Water Walk, which takes you down by the Niagara River to view its Class 6 rapids; Journey Behind the Falls, which allows you to get close to and behind a portion of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls; the Cave of the Winds tour, which has the "Hurricane Deck" that gets you to within 20 feet of the American Falls; and, of course, we visited Clifton Hill. We played mini-golf, toured Movieland Wax Museum (and it's "Nothing-To-Do-With-A-Wax-Museum" mini-haunted house section), rode the ferris wheel that was supposed to give us a good view of the falls (we rode it too late and only got to see pitch-black where the falls were located), played around in an arcade, and rode a motion simulator. All-in-all, we were successful by nights end at reverting back to ten year-olds. But it was a lot of fun.
