My Favorite Things About Buffalo #1: Niagara Falls

I love lots of things about Buffalo-- that's why I love to come visit. One of these things is going to Niagara Falls.

When John and I were dating, we rode our bikes up to Bridal Veil Falls and John laughed and said, "That is not a waterfall. Come to Buffalo and I'll show you a real waterfall." I was a little offended because in my life to that point, Bridal Veil Falls was a pretty big water fall. Then when I came to Buffalo, John took me to Niagara Falls. And I had to agree, that was a real waterfall. I've never seen anything like it before or since. It is always a top request from the kids when we plan what we want to do in Buffalo. It is truly beautiful and fun to walk around.

Some day I am going to do the deluxe visit but for right now we just like to walk around with all the kids. Throwing rocks in the water and picking dandelions in the grass surrounding the falls seemed to be the favorite activities this time around.

I also love the statue of Tesla, the man who invented a way to harness the power of the falls and make electricity. It just looks cool.
