We left snowy (cottonwood snowy) Port Huron this morning and within 10 minutes were across the Border to Sarnia Ontario. Made a quick stop at Tim Hortons for a coffee – much better than yesterday’s Dunkin Donuts branch water – and we were on our way to Niagara Falls.
While only a 3 hour drive, we took our time, went through some road construction and arrived at Niagara Falls at noon. While the GPS lady got us to the general location, she was not very precise and we had to rely on our street smarts (or lack thereof) to find the RV parking lot. As we pulled in, we noticed it looked rather empty and soon discovered it was closed. Fascinating!
Leaving the parking lot, the driver made an incorrect turn and headed down the Niagara Falls Parkway in the opposite direction of the Falls. Finding a turnaround spot for the truck and trailer was a bit challenging but we managed to get ourselves pointed in the right direction. As we approached the Falls, we turned into a parking lot and nose first, rolled into a ‘buses only’ spot and parked. I thought to myself…”let them try and get a tow truck to pull us out of that spot”.
We then walked toward the Falls, which were magnificent. Here’s a couple of photos we snapped.
Shortly after 2pm, we headed toward Oakville to meet up with Zach and his second family. We managed to park the truck and trailer on the drive (car’s aren’t permitted on the street overnight in their neighbourhood), freshened up, and took a short nap before dinner.
The Dias and extended family came together to celebrate Zach’s graduation and we were privileged to be a part of it. These folks are very special people…so warm and inviting and we are so thankful they were kind enough to allow Zach to be a part of their lives over these past 4 years. Here’s a photo of Zach with all the kids.
Tomorrow, we will be up at the crack of dawn to drive to Bronte Station and take the Go Train to Toronto and attend Zach’s convocation.
