We made an overnight stop near Niagara Falls on our way to Albany to see the falls. We saw the American side of the Falls at night, and crossed over into Canada to see the Falls from their side the following day. It had rained most of the morning, but we lucked out with a brief dry spell to view the falls. Kyle says they are overhyped, but I thought they were amazing. I could have spent a lot longer time enjoying the view, but hungry tummies got the best of us.
Inside the visitor's center, there were a couple of food choices. We chose the healthier deli option and ordered our food. We were surprised to learn that they didn't take Visa, only Mastercard, so we couldn't use our debit card to pay for our meal. Having paid a toll to get over the bridge into Canada and another hefty sum for parking, we were running low on cash. We managed to scrounge up enough money with borrowing a little from the kids to pay for our meal. On our way back into the U.S., the Border Agent asked the usual questions along with the question of if we were bringing back more than $1000. Mark laughed as he answered, "No, in fact we have exactly 17 cents!"
