Niagara-on-the-lake, Ontario Canada June 17

We made it out of Pittsburgh and on to Canada. We checked into our Beautiful Bed and Breakfast Called The Georgian . It is owned by a couple from Scotland in their mid 40's. It is an 1818 Mansion that is almost all the original wood. They had 3 absolutely gorgeous suites we got to choose from, each one had a king size bed, bathroom, sitting room with a wood fireplace and TV's. The one we stayed in also had a dressing room and a Jacuzzi tub. It was decorated so amazingly with the old fashion dressers and decoratives. After taking a look around the place, we decided to head up to Niagara Falls. It had been raining most of the day, so it was no surprise that at the top of the falls, it was pouring! We walked around and took some pictures and did some shopping. We decided not to do the boat near the falls being that it was already raining, we didn't want to freeze. After a few hours of shopping, we were shocked to find everything was closing! 6:00 in the evening all the shops and closed down so we headed back towards our B&B. We crawled into our very comfy bed and both had a good night sleep. Our breakfast was a 3 course meal that was to die for. First we walked into the dinning room with glass of fruit and some orange juice. Then she brought out Egg's Benedict with homemade buns, and sauce. It was amazing! After we had finished that, she then brought out a homemade banana bread soaked in Caramelized Carmel and Grand Mariner. The sauce was so good, we could have ate that with just a spoon. We enjoyed a nice visit with the couple and made our way out to the little town called Niagara on the Lake, which is just a cute little cottage town with little shops and boutiques. We shopped for a couple hours, but it had been raining all morning, so we decided to head out. We are off towards Albany NY.
