Growing up, I heard about people traveling to Niagara Falls, but I really never knew anyone who had been there on vacation.
Recently, I saw my friend Cassidy Quinn Brett Brettler take a picture in front of Niagara Falls.

When I saw that this photo, I was impressed. I'd never thought about visiting the Falls, but this picture stayed with me.
The day after I saw this picture, I got and e-mail from TravelZoo, with a special hotel rate for Niagara Falls (Canadian Side).
So, I asked my wife if she be interested in taking a trip up there, because we were trying to decide what to do during the next week.
She asked if there were any wineries up there, so I searched, and found some. Actualy more than just some, there's a whole wine country at Niagara-on-the-Lake.
We booked the trip.
After that I posted to Facebook and asked people for suggestions on what to do in the area. One friend suggested going to Old Fort Niagara.
I checked it out and saw that it was a short ride from the Buffalo/Niagara International Airport selects what we did.
Here are some photos:

It was a great stop.
Next up was Niagara falls on the US side.
We found some free on street parking right by the falls and walked over.
