weekend destination rave

Yes, rave.

We took the kids to Niagra Falls this weekend and had an absolute blast.  Stayed at an older-school motel with our 2 room suite (lol) overlooking the atrium/pool area. 

We walked everywhere (we really covered a great deal of real estate especially considering we have a 2 year old).  The storefronts are so interactive and amusing/scary; characters for theme events inside some places (DS1 got to meet Darth Vader), fireworks one night, the falls are really incredible, we did an indoor water park for half a day and the whole trip was pretty much on the cheap.

The kids loved it.

I'm actually planning on going back, which is very rare for me.

I took the kids there and had a great time. We didn't stay there, but we were on the American side which is pretty gross IMO.

Were you on the US side or Canadian side?  I'd love to take my girls to Niagra Falls.  I'll probably save it for when the youngest is a little older.

Canadian side.  Two main touristy areas within walking distance of each other.  We stayed in the Clifton Hills area near the old casino.  My nearly 4 year old loved it, totally.  My nearly 2.5 year old was a little overwhelmed, I admit.

I'd love to take my kids there sometime, but I haven't gotten around to getting passports yet    We went to Canada all the time as kids and it annoys me that you need a passport now.
