Niagara Falls

We arrived in Niagara Falls about 9:00 p.m.  We decided to stay on the Canada side of the Falls.  We checked in at the hotel and then ventured down to see the falls at night. 
They have a bunch of colored lights on the horse shoe part of the falls and then red white and blue on the American side of the falls.  It was so amazing.  You couldn't get a real feel for the falls at night though so the next morning when we saw it, it was still jaw-dropping.

You can walk right by the drop off of the falls.  Just standing there and hearing the roaring of the falls and then looking practically over the fall is overwhelming.
This is the American Falls.  It is really pretty too but not as grand.  The bridge is Rainbow bridge that connects the US and Canada.
So we all scratched Niagara Falls off our bucket lists!  We chose not to do any of the boat tours just so we wouldn't have to deal with the possibility of screaming girls freaking out.  Plus we could see and feel the majesty of the beautiful falls from where we were.

Amazing place. So funny that you nixed the boat trip to avoid screaming girls....which probably would have happened.
