Canadian celebration :)


Do you ever get the feeling that time is both standing still AND speeding ahead at 100mph? That's exactly how Patrick and I felt when we realized we were right on top of our One Year Anniversary. How could a whole year have gone by when it seems like just yesterday we were standing at the altar? 
And at the same time, so much has happened and changed in our lives...has it really only been a year? I think this is what adults meant when they told us as children that time flies when you're having fun.

So while I could wax and wane about the bliss of married life or reflect on the year passed, I'd much rather tell you what we did for our anniversary. We went to Niagara Falls! 


We left early Friday morning, drove nearly 8 hours to the New York state/Ontario border, then crossed the Rainbow bridge (no joke) into Canada. While there, we stayed in this amazing tower overlooking the Falls, wandered the cliffside paths for unclose sightseeing, and even took the Journey Behind the Falls (yes, I'm attaching video, because it's awesome!). 


We also sampled some stellar dining, namely at Brasa...if you ever get the chance to try this Brazilian steakhouse, do yourself a favor and GO! Pat has been raving about it since we left :)

Anyway, this place is so much better seen than talked about, so I'll do just that! I only wish the pictures could do it justice, but this world wonder is way more epic in person...

The Rainbow bridge and American Falls, aka "Bridal Veil"

Canadian, or Horseshoe Falls, straight from our window!

It got to be nearly 80 degrees, so the mist felt goooood :)

Right on the brink...

A gift from our waitress after dinner, yum!
