Wow, what a beautiful place. Not as wow as the Foz do Iguacu, but wow. It sure was breath taking. We walked around a bit and saw from all sides of the falls, but not the Canada side. We did wave for Matt though. After seeing the top portion of the falls we decided to enjoy God's creation even more an take a boat ride, called the Made of the Mist. They handed us ponchos because we would g
et really wet...and that we did. The boat takes you right up to the falls. Wow. It was beautiful, a little overwhelming. After the ride was over, Britt thought it would be good idea to walk the path up to the falls. LOL. It was light a massive overload of water, it was in your nose and in your mouth. Everytime you took a breath you inhaled water. Annie stayed below and took some pics. As you can see I am attempting to wave, but the water 
mixed with wind was very powerful. It was really a lot of fun but we got really wet. Thank goodness for the ponchos! After that fun, we walked to Goat Island, took a couple pics and saw the falls from a different angle. It was just so beautiful. We then decided we had better head back because we would have a long day on Monday, since we would be driving from Rochester, New York, to New York City. About a 6 hour drive. We all are excited to get to the city and see things there.

We all are excited to get to the city and see things there. We left the falls and headed back to the hotel in Victor, New York. We decided it would be wise to stay in. We ordered Pizza from Pontinellos. That pizza was soooo yummy. Good stuff. Sandra and Annie went to pick up the pizza and Sandra hit herself in the face with a book. Annie laughed a bit and Sandra said she almost crashed them because of laughter. Annie came back to account the story, we laughed. Then things got even better. Brittany decided it would be fun to irritate Annie, and for the record she was warned before hand. Brittany was teasing Annie to the point where Annie said, "I feel like I might want to brake your fingers". Things got more interesting. Brittany was poking Annie, while Annie was trying to count her money. Annie gave Britt a love tap on the arm (an actual punch). Brittany decided for continue for some reason and Annie went to the bathroom. Brittany learned to stop when someone says stop. It was a funny thing, it made everyone laugh for a moment. It was time for bed and I just couldn't sleep. Sandra and I got in this laughing mood. Poor Annie, she was so tired, she put in the ear plugs and a pillow over the head. I just couldn't sleep. I had a thought and said out loud that I should go for a walk, Sandra was up for it, and then reminded what happens to girls like us in small towns. Sandra said, what we will people go missing. I said haven't you heard what happens in small towns in Victor, New York? Lol. kidding, but we thought it would be smart to stay inside. We finally fell asleep.
Monday, July 20, 2009-Left Rochester, NY and heading to NY, NY
So Annie and I got up early and returned the poop car and pick up the other car we used to drive into New York City. We stopped at Target for some road snacks and then went to Palmyra for a couple last 
minute things, like to see the 4 churches and then to the cemetary to see Alvin Smith's grave, son of Joseph Smith, Sr. and Lucy Mac. Joseph Smith's oldest brother. We also stopped at Martin Harris's Farm. Then we were off. We began our road trip to the city. We had fun, took at few pics of Sandra sleeping, Brittany singing to good old MJ (that was so fun). Good times. Annie drove the whole way. We finally got to the city. We were all done being in the car. We took the car back to the airport and a shuttle into our hotel. We are staying at the Milford on 45th and 8th street, right around the corner from Lion King, Phantom and Time Square. Great location. The hotel room is okay, bed is a little rough, but shower sure does feel good. We got settled in and then went to Hard Rock to eat some dinner. It was fun to see Annie and Sandra's face as they stood on Time Square. It was a cool mome
nt. We went to Hard Rock and had yummy food. That place really is a lot of fun. We told them it was Annie's birthday and so they brought her out an ice cream. The guy called her out and made her stand on a chair, he asked how old she was, "32", he didn't believe her, he thought she was 17 yrs old. So the whole restaurant cheered and said, "Happy Birthday". It was fun. After Hard Rock, we walked to Grand Central Station and saw that, then walked to Empire State Building. We got there at about 10pm and was amazing. We took the elevator up 80 floors and then wa
lked another 6 flights of stairs. The view was incredible. The city was glowing with lights and you could see the Statue of Liberty. We were there a bit and then thought we would go back to the hotel and rest. It was mid-night. It was a long day. We all fell right asleep.
