After breakfast at the hotel, Finn wanted to go to the Aquarium first, then the Discovery Center.
Next stop is the Three Sisters Islands, my favorite place in the park.
We had lunch at the Visitor’s Center before heading home.

Niagara Falls Day 1
It’s been 6 years from our first visit to Niagara that Finn doesn’t remember it at all =P We only stayed overnight but that’s enough to do the important stuff.
We left before 6am on Friday, had breakfast on the way, and arrived past noon. Our room wasn’t ready yet so we decided to go to the park and have lunch at the Top of the Falls Restaurant by the Horseshoe Falls. After lunch we took pictures at Terrapin Point before heading back to the hotel to check-in.
Our first stop is the Maid of the Mist.
Then on to the Cave of the Winds.
We were so drenched after that we had to go back to the hotel to dry off or change. For dinner we ate at Hard Rock Cafe and got 2 bag tags as free gifts. Then straight to the Observation Deck to wait for the Light Show at 9pm.
At 10pm there was supposed to be a fireworks display, but apparently they cancelled it … without notification. We waited until 10.15 and when nothing was happening, we went back to the hotel.
NYC 07-08
Decided to go to NYC today even if the weather forecast said scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Took the 9am bus and when we got there, we walked along 42nd St., Times Square, and on to Rockefeller Center to go to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. It was foggy so the view wasn’t that great.
We had lunch there, then stopped by the Lego store.
Central Park was our next destination.
It started drizzling as we were leaving the park so instead of walking back, we took the subway instead. We were able to catch the 5pm bus home.
Splish Splash
For this year’s 4th of July, we went to Splish Splash in Long Island, NY. We didn’t think there would be too many people but there were =P The lines to the rides got too long during the afternoon so we weren’t able to ride everything. But it was still fun.
We rented a VIP Cabana for the day. It had a table with 4 chairs, 2 lounge chairs, a ceiling fan, personal locker, and a fridge. We’ve never been here before so we weren’t sure if there were ample chairs or lounges all over. There were, so next time we can skip the cabana and just maybe rent a locker for the valuables.
I don’t have too many pictures since our waterproof camera already died. Have to buy a new one soon. Would have been great if I took pictures of us in the rides. Anyway, here’s the album. Enjoy!
July 04 Fireworks
Happy 4th of July! Here are the fireworks we saw tonight from our window. I didn’t see the whole thing and so these pics aren’t even half of the show, I think. Enjoy!
July 03 Fireworks
This is from a town closer but then the trees were kinda blocking the view. Also, it was very foggy that the really high fireworks were lost in the clouds =P
July 02 Fireworks
There were 3 towns that had fireworks tonight. They were pretty far away that’s why they look so low on these pictures, but we could still get a decent view of them from our bedroom window.
