Day 49
Traveling south, we passed the sights of Toronto - the CN tower, and Skydome were right along the highway. Lunch found a handy Pizza Hut, and then we were back on the road to Niagara Falls.
A short drive in town convinced us to head for our campground and the shuttle bus. Our luck was with us as they were hosting a "Family Fun Tour." |
The tour didn't begin until evening so we had time to visit the playground, do some laundry, take a dip in the pool, and have an early dinner before boarding the bus for our tour. |
We got to visit the length of the Niagara Gorge, the rapids, and Whirlpool. Sam enjoyed seeing the floral clock, and Sarah liked riding up the elevator in the Minolta Tower. |
By the time we reached the top of the tower, darkness had fallen and the falls were illuminated. |
Our last stop was Table Rock House where we got to see the fireworks for the joint Canada Day/ Fourth of July celebration. The kids were captivated by their first live fireworks display and we returned to the campground with two happy and very tired little tourists. |
