100,000

I am ecstatic about the fact that my humble little blog has had over 100,000 views as of today. Back in 2011 when I started this, I had no idea what to write about or what to do with it.  Over the years, I've shared my passion for my hobbies, my travel experiences, foods and beverages that I have enjoyed, tv shows and movies that I like (or dislike),  personal thoughts/experiences, and more.  I just wanted to take a moment and thank all of you who have taken the time to peruse my blog.

Fifteen years ago when I began this journey, I did not know where I would end up.  I still don't know that.  I will continue to share small snippets of my life with all of you out there. Take care, come back and visit. To infinity and beyond!

Back from the Fall(s)

Niagara Falls...slowly I turned step by step...inch by inch...alright, that was just for all you 3 Stooges Fans.  Falls were FANTASTIC!!!!  I hadn't been there since 1975 (on an 8th grade field trip).  It was great to go back.  Did the whole 9 yards:  Cave of the Winds, Maid of the Mist, Movie (thumbs down), Aquarium (don't waste your time), and the trolly.  If ya go you gotta go on the Maid of the Mist...way way way COOL!  LOVED IT!!!!  Stayed at the Sheraton on the U.S. side.  It was just OK!  (Great Starbucks and Fridays there though.)  The hotel was across the street from the Seneca Casino.  So we did some gambling and did the buffet one day.  The buffet was incredible!  On the way home stopped at Fort Niagara.  If you are a U.S. History buff this place is a must see.  French and Indian War, American Revolution, War of 1812 (200 year anniversary this year), and even a little U.S. Civil War...it's all there to see.  Wait for the cannon firing if you go, it is well worth it! They even had a brass monkey there! (See an earlier blog for a reference on this.)  Great trip, but as always glad to be back home.
