CELEBRATING OUR HONEYMOON AND FIRST ANNIVERSARY
"FINDING OUR WAY TO CANADA"
WHEN WE WOKE UP ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9TH I TOOK OUR DOG TO MY MOMS HOUSE AND BRIAN WENT TO WATCH THE ROOKIE PENGUINS PRACTICE AT MELLON ARENA WITH OUR FRIEND STEVE. THEY WERE EXCITED ABOUT GETTING TO SEE MALKIN FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BRIAN GOT HOME AROUND 12:30 AND WE LEFT FOR OUR TRIP TO NIAGARA FALLS AROUND 1:00. LOADED THE CAR AND OFF WE WENT FOR A LONG ROAD TRIP. IT RAINED MOST OF THE TRIP THAN CLEARED UP THE CLOSER WE GOT TO CANADA. WE ARRIVED IN CANADA BETWEEN 5:30 AND 6:00. WE GOT THROUGH CUSTOMS WITH NO PROBLEMS. SHOWED ID AND ANSWERED QUESTION THAN WE WENT TO FIND OUR HOTEL. THE HOTEL WASN'T VERY FAR AWAY IT WAS A FEW BLOCKS DOWN. WE ARRIVE AT OUR HOTEL, CHECKED IN THAN UNLOADED THE CAR. WE WALKED TO OUR ROOM NUMBER 62 AT THE LINCOLN MOTOR INN. SOUNDS CHEESY WE KNOW. BUT ITS ONLY 3 MINUTES FROM THE FALLS AND ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE CASINO. VERY CONVENIENT. THE ROOM HAD A KING SIZE BED AND A HEART SHAPED JACUZZI, BONUS! NOT TO BAD. FIRST THING BRIAN DOES WAS TURN THE TV ON TO CHECK THE SCORE AND HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MICHIGAN GAME. GEEZ!!
WE PUT OUR THINGS AWAY AND DECIDED TO GO TO THE CASINO TO SPEND LOTS OF MONEY AND WIN LOTS OF MONEY.
"CASINO TIME"
THE CASINO WE COULD SEE FROM OUR HOTEL WINDOW. IT WAS ACROSS THE STREET WOW AND WE THOUGHT WE WEREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO FIND IT. WE WALK TO THE CASINO WHICH WAS BEAUTIFUL. WE WALK IN AND FIRST THING WE SEE WAS A ILLUMINATED WATER FALL. VERY PRETTY! OFF TO THE LEFT WAS WHERE ALL THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM "BELLS AND RINGS" FROM THE SLOT MACHINES. LOADED WITH PEOPLE OF ALL ETHNIC BACKGROUNDS. WE DECIDED TO CASH IN ONLY $100 TO START WITH. THATS ALL IT TOOK TO GET US STARTED. WE WERE OFF TO A GREAT START. BEGINNERS LUCK!! WITHIN THE FIRST HOUR WE WERE UP TRIPLE OUR MONEY. AS THE NIGHT WENT ON WE HAD $700 IN OUR POCKETS. (JUST A REMINDER THIS MONEY WE USED FOR THIS TRIP WAS OUR WEDDING MONEY, THANK YOU!) IT WAS SO MUCH FUN I PLAYED THE A SLOT MACHINE AND PUT 50 CENTS IN AND WON $100. BRIAN PLAYED 4 CARD POKER AND BLACKJACK. WON JUST ABOUT EVERY HAND IT SEEMED. WE LEFT THE CASINO AROUND 11:00. WE WERE HUNGRY. IT WAS TIME FOR DINNER. WE WENT TO MY COUSIN VINNY'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT.
"THE BEAUTIFUL NIAGARA FALLS"
AFTER WE WENT TO THE CASINO WON MONEY AND LOST MONEY. WE WENT TO A RESTAURANT CALLED MY COUSIN VINNY'S ITALIAN RESTAURANT. ORDERED MANICOTTI FOR ME AND LASAGNA FOR BRIAN. A $50 DINNER. WHAT!! THEY MUST BE NUTS. FIRST OFF I ONLY GOT 2 SMALL MANICOTTI ROLLS THE CHEESE WAS NOT COOKED. I COULD TASTE THE RAW EGG. BRIAN GOT LASAGNA A VERY SMALL PIECE. AWFUL FOOD. DO NOT GO THERE. BEWARE!!
AFTER THE AWFUL MEAL, WE WALKED DOWN TO THE FALLS. A LITTLE CHILLY. THE FALLS WERE ONLY A FEW MINUTES FROM OUR HOTEL. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AT NIGHT. THEY WERE DECORATED WITH LIGHTS. I COULD HAVE STAYED THERE ALL NIGHT LOOKING AT THE NATURAL WONDER AND LISTENING TO THE ROAR OF THE FALLS.
