Wow! Niagara Falls , a spectacular natural wonder, lived up to our lofty expectations. Niagara Falls has served as power for electrical experiments, a sacred place to the Iroquois, the nemesis of daredevils, inspiration for artists, and of course, a vacation destination for millions of people from all over the world. We started on the American side with the visitor's center and prospect point followed by the Maid of the Mist. This boat ride should not be missed; it was a wet and wild way to experience the power of the falls. Aboard this famous boat, you cruise upriver toward the deafening roar...

NOTE: I took byways for most of these destinations, but most are accesible by highways and exits. Though to get true Americana, the blacktop monsters aren't the best way.

Sunday found us getting a late start and then getting lost on the way to the Virginia Renaissance Faire . The faire was smaller and had less high-level entertainment than others I've attended (except for the belly dancers below--best I've ever seen!), but the kids had a good time. I had to work half the day, so we didn't get to see as much as I'd hoped. First we went to Hugh Mercer Apothecary Shop. I love that little place, with all the remedies. The kids, of course, liked seeing the leeches! We also toured the garden (best seen, of course, in spring or summer). Since we'd gotten a late start,...
