(A proper) Niagara Falls Tour

(The Canadian Niagara Falls... helicopter view!)

David and I had driven "by" the Niagara Falls as an addendum drive on our Niagara-on-the-lake trip, but we had not explored it fully. We had the opportunity to explore the falls further two Mondays ago, on our day off. A group of us from the show took a guided bus tour of the Niagara Falls and we had some excellent times. The best bits for us were (1) a helicopter tour above the falls (excellent geological perspective on the falls -- and my very first helicopter ride! I got to sit as the "co-pilot," right next to the pilot and the owner of the helicopter tour company), and (2) the Maid of the Mist boat tour close up and personal with the falls. Here are several key photos of our fun-filled day off:

(Kinda wet... but David loved it, despite his weary face in this photo...)
