Messner Vacation 2011 Part 1-New York

As some of you know, Jeff and I like to take BIG vacations. We save up all year then try to take our boys somewhere they’ve (and sometimes us) have never been before. This year they wanted to stay 2 weeks at Pop Pop’s in Ohio. Well, we decided to use the opportunity to see some of the sights that are somewhat close to him. That turned into a week in Canada (which is not really all that close).

We spent 1/2 week in Ohio visiting with family and relaxing then on Wednesday we drove up to Niagara Falls, NY and Canada. Canada Vacation 2011 053

2o years ago, Jeff and I were married and we honeymooned in Niagara Falls! We thought it would be fun to return there for our anniversary, taking along the three little boys that have since made us a family, as well as Jeff’s dad, brother, sister and two nephews! Smile We had a lot of fun!

Joan had to work 1/2 day the day we left so we got to Niagara Falls first. It’s not that far of a drive over from Pop Pop’s house and we enjoyed stopping at a state park in New York to see Lake Erie up close.

Beautiful old light house that was at this park. Privately owned though, so we  didn’t go up in it.
