Ice-a-Dopes

Yup. Just call us Ice-a-Dopes. Why? Because over Christmas, a better part of my family went from Florida up to Pennsylvania and on into Canada in the dead of winter to see Niagara Falls.  My brother and I were the only ones in our clan who had seen the Falls since our hometown is Erie, Pennsylvania. Visiting "ye ole homestead" near Lake Erie, we were just too close not to cross the border.

Can you say, "Ten degrees?" Remember, blood does thin considerably when you move and live down South, as I have for a good number of years. So while ten degrees used to be tolerable in my former life, those days are gone. We all could have won an Oscar for our interpretation of Chevy Chase in the Vacation movie, where he rubber necks at the Grand Canyon, the same thing we did at the Falls.  Believe me, Niagara Falls is a thing of wonder and we did see it, all of it, the America and the Canadian Falls, but mostly from the sanctuary of the Skylon Tower, http://www.skylon.com/, located there.

We recommend you visit Niagara Falls. The best time is spring, summer, and fall when the flowers are blooming and you don't need a nose warmer. We all forgot to wear ours.
