Niagra Falls
During the scorching summer of 2010, my family and I took an eventful vacation to Niagara Falls. We made the 16 hour drive from our home in Virginia and spent ample time on both the Canadian and American sides. We greatly enjoyed all of the attractions the area had to offer. Our summer trip to Niagara Falls was an amazing vacation full of fun, adventure, and new experiences. Before we left home for the trip, there were lots of preparations to be made. First, we took some time researching different things on the internet. My mom looked up the easiest driving route and estimated the cost of our trip. My siblings and I each had to dig up our passports and travel bags to take with us on the trip. While my mom took care of the practical side, my sisters and I had fun looking up different fun things to do at Niagara Falls. We each one wanted to do something different. I was interested in the shopping areas, while one of my sisters was looking at the different restaurants, and another was researching all of the different landmarks. Once we picked a day to go, we had our car checked out to make sure everything would be fine for the long drive. Afterwards, we stopped at the store to buy snacks and other things we might need. At this point, the only thing left to do was pack. This was probably the hardest part of preparing for the trip just because there were so many of us.
The next morning, we woke up bright and early to try to get as much daytime driving in as possible. My siblings and I immediately started fighting on who got to sit where, but everyone finally became satisfied with his or her final spot, put their headphones in their ears, and my mom prepared myself for the long drive ahead. Similarly to other road trips we have taken, we tried to make as few stops as possible, but with so many people, there seemed to always be someone who needed to go to the bathroom or complained of being hungry. Our favorite place to stop for food was

    It was going to be a short ride only about 4 hours altogether through the South Dakota mountains. About an hour into our ride, we reached the mountains and as soon as we did Brody, Eli, Maddy, and I rode our horses to the top of the mountains. When we reached the top of the mountains we got off our horses and looked out over the South Dakota scenery, it was a beautiful view. I have never seen a better view in my life. You could see so far since we were up so high in the air and when we looked down at Tommy and Cassie they looked like ants. After we took a few pictures we headed back down to Tommy and Cassie. We went a little further after we got down from the mountain and then we turned back and headed towards camp. We arrived back at camp we washed, fed, and watered the horses. When we were done with that stuff we made a fire and started carving on sticks for a competition we were having and then at about 11 we went to…

    We walked the rest of the was to the cabin and slept for the night. The next day was filled with fishing and eating.

    We usually take trips during breaks from school, like spring break or winter break, or during the summer, but we rarely take big trips on the weekends. We left friday afternoon, right after school ended. The car ride was about 3 hours. That may not seem like a long time, but with a baby in the car, it seemed to take forever. Babies cry a lot. When we finally got to the little house that we had rented for the weekend, everyone was tired and went to sleep quickly.…

    When it became closer to leaving, we discovered that our grandparents were riding in the same car as us. While we were all getting in the car, my family made me sit in the middle of both my grandma and my grandpa. They squashed me like a bug right between them. It’s a good thing they had to go to the restroom about five times in an hour so I could get out…

    Visitors can view the falls from several different perspectives; a suspension bridge over the crest of the falls enables access to both sides of the park as well as breathtaking view. The second option would be the aerial tram that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls. In the summer the park hosts an international fireworks competition with the falls as a backdrop. If you are intending to visit during the summer months, look out for the yellow glow that the falls…

    I stayed for the weekend in June. We camped at a nearby campground that was about 20minutes away from the island by boat. It felt like a dream when you were on the island because it was just so pretty. The most magnificent part is that no cars are allowed on the island so all you see is bikes, and horse and buggies. My favorite part was when my grandparents, Hannah and I biked 8 miles around the entire island. It was probably the easiest bike ride ever because I was so distracted by the stunning view. It would tell you what mile you were on too because a sign to the side of the road would say mile 1, mile 2, mile 3,…

    I was sat squished in the back of one of the minivans with Sam, our treats and various forms of entertainment for the long ride sat between us. The drive was long and boring. We slept, played every car ride game possible and watched movies. The 806.2 miles seemed to take everlasting. We stopped for two nights at a hotel and took a day to go to an amusement park. My love for amusement parks was stronger than my urge to return home and after spending the day on roller coaster rides and eating cotton candy, I decided for a brief moment that maybe this trip wouldn't be so bad after…

    Niagara Falls is about 12,000 years old and has two waterfalls on the Niagara River, which marks the border between New York and Ontario, Canada. The American side of the Falls is located on the American side of the border, and the Canadian or Horseshoe Falls is located on the Canadian side of the border. To the right of the American Falls is a smaller waterfall that has been separated from the American Falls by natural forces, which is usually called Bridal Veil Falls. The falls are so unique due to the fact that they are several falls that combined together to make what we know as Niagara Falls. It’s also unique due to its size. It is quite a high and wide water fall. It is not the highest water fall or widest water fall in the world but…

    I went home riding the bus, and it took a record-setting time of an hour and a half long to get home. Me and my brothers, Hayden and Chanler arrived at the front door at four-forty-five. Our bus driver Ernie always stopped to rally up everyone’s attention when we weren’t sitting down or if talking way too much, and that afternoon we stopped four different times. My dad complained to the bus barn and to our driver, but we were the last stop. Making us always the ones to arrive home last.…
