Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Toronto and Buffalo - June 2010


We recently stayed at the Oban Inn and Spa in Niagara-on-the-Lake for 4 days. We visited several wineries in the area including Wayne Gretzky's and we did the Adventure Pass for Niagara which included the Maid of the Mist boat ride, the White Water Walk, the Journey Behind the Falls and the 4-D Fury attraction. We also toured the Butterfly Conservatory and took the Aero Car over the whirpool. We took a day trip to Toronto where we toured Casa Loma, visited the Hockey Hall of Fame and took a Hippo Tour of the city and Lake Ontario. We flew in and out of Buffalo so on our last day we stopped in Buffalo and had lunch at the Anchor Bar which is supposed to be where Buffalo Wings were invented.

San Antonio & Austin, Texas - May 2010


We went to San Antonio for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at the Hotel Contessa right on the Riverwalk. We toured the Alamo, Mission San Jose, Mission Concepcion and walked around El Mercado. We also took a ghost tour in the evening. We took a day trip to Austin where we took a duck tour and took a bat watching boat cruise at sunset.
