Well, since the air conditioner in the house doesn’t work… let’s go north and escape the heat wave! We’d talked about going back to Niagara Falls since it’s been about 25 years when we took the kids.
The Daisy Barn campground that we found was right on Lake Ontario and the perfect spot to relax after a full day of driving.
Tuesday we headed to the Ontario side of the falls to do a “behind the falls” tour and explore the town Niagara-on-the-lake. We went way down behind the falls and looked out at the massive water wall coming down. Going out to the observation deck you get a real feeling of the amount of water that plummets over the falls… forever… it’s always flowing! Mind boggling!
The town Niagara-on-the-lake was well worth seeing. Not as touristy as the falls and situated right on the Niagra River. On the way there we had to stop at one of the wineries that make Ice Wine. Apparently there are only 3 places in the world that make it. Very sweet and syrupy, just had to try it!
Back to the campground to hang with Harley and watch our first sunset on Lake Ontario!💖
Wednesday was spent on the NY side of the falls, walking around the Niagara State Park and then hopped on the Maid of the Mist, which we had never done before.
Once we were duly soaked and cooled off for the day we headed back to the RV and hung with Harley for the evening.
Thursday hadn’t been planned so we explored the local park with Harley. We went to Wilson-Tuscarora State Park where we walked the trails, checked out the marina and went back for our final sunset.
Paul made friends with the couple next to us and we shared our last campfire with them, trading stories and enjoying the evening. That’s what it’s all about!
