China Barbie's Niagara Falls Vacation
Picture
At the end of September, me and and my wonderful family took off for a family vacay to Niagara Falls. It was a grand time! Not only did we all get to spend time together as a family, which doesn't happen as often as it used to, but we got to experience a natural wonder! The falls and the surrounding areas offer so many fun experiences, and we got to experience a lot of them! 

So here is our adventure!

Lovin' Life! Ridin' a Trolley!

We got to ride the Maid of the Mist, which is a boat that takes you right up close and personal with the falls (and all it's mist!)! We got to wear these stylish ponchos, feel the mist on our face, and experience up close, the power of the falls.

We also got to experience the "Cave of the Winds", which was a series of stairs and platforms that took you right up next to the falls! This was probably my favorite thing we did! For this we also got ponchos, and even sandals! Which was a good thing, because we got soaked!

So amazing and breathtaking!

And because my sister's boyfriend is an avid (and extremely talented) gambler, we spent a lot of time into the early morning at the casino (the free drinks also helped!).
Picture
We didn't hit a Jackpot, but we definitely had a blast, and even made some spending money!

Picture
We also visited Smokin Joe's Native Center! I loooved this place, and not just because they had an amazing coffee house that we visited every day! I am very interested in Native Americans, and like to learn about them, so this place was really cool to see!

Picture
This was a painting hanging up at Smokin' Joes, and it made me laugh SO HARD! It's funny, because I refuse to call Native Americans, Indians. And I'm constantly correcting people on it, because, the simple fact, that THEY'RE NOT INDIANS!!! PEOPLE FROM INDIA ARE INDIANS!!! So anyways, my whole family knows that this bothers me, and so one day my sister showed me this video below, and it summed up exactly how I feel about this whole Indian/Native American thing, and it's HILARIOUS!!! Ok, after you watch the video, I promise I'm done on this subject! :P

Hehe.

One night me and the fiance decided to try out our new passports, and hop the border and scope out a different country (we walked across the bridge to Canada)! It was pretty cool! We got some insanely cheap alcohol at the Duty Free Shop, and just walked around and explored!

I found this aweeeesomeeee wax figure chillin on the side of the street behind glass! It looked so real, I was afraid!
