Our Valley Santa Clarita November/December 2016 | Page 22

Niagara Falls Captures the Hearts and Minds Together with the raw power and beauty of the falls, the surrounding community of Niagara is clean, welcoming and fun. We had four days to make the most of a romantic getaway on a long overdue vacation. Ordinarily Toni plans every detail of our vacations and they go without a hitch, but in Niagara so many things went wonderfully wrong that it made the vacation just that much sweeter. We toured over, around, behind and underneath the falls. We also walked for miles, crossing the border between Canada and the United States four times. And, even when it rained, it only forced us to find the best local restaurants. Our favorite was at the Queen Victoria. There we pampered ourselves with the best tapas and beer on the river front. We are definitely going back to Niagara Falls. This time in the winter when the falls freeze! 22
