The Magical Land of Niagara Falls: Day Three

On the third day of our trip we didn't get up until 1pm and then we decided to go out to Clifton Hill once again. We walked the length of the falls and felt the mist from the falls hit our faces it was so cool. After we walked the length of the falls we went to Planet Hollywood. I had always wanted to go to Planet Hollywood and I was so excited when we finally made it there. Unfortunately Planet Hollywood was extremely overpriced, the food was terrible and there was very little celebrity memorbilia. We barely ate the food, and we hurried to get out of there. After the Planet Hollywood experience we both felt sick, so we went back to the hotel and spent the rest of the day laying in bed, and making several trips to the bathroom.
I finally said to Spencer "This is our last night in Niagara Falls and I don't want to spend it laying in bed, feeling sick. I want to go out to dinner and we will go somewhere where we know the food is consistent and if we feel too sick, then we can come back to the hotel." We got dressed and ready for dinner, then we went to Kelsey's which is one of our fav restaurants. After Kelsey's we walked around, deciding what we wanted to do, we went to the Midway and played some games. Not only did we play games, we sniped the occassional game ticket from kids, played the games where the tickets were overdue and they ran out so the people of the midway had to give us extra tickets and then Spencer got himself some "souvenirs." My boyfriend the juvenile deliquent did not pay for one single souvenir. No he took, the paddle from an air hockey table, kept his cloth napkin from Kelsey's restaurant, the pencil from the mini golf course and a postcard from a convience store where we had an incident with the owner. I on the other hand, paid for all my souvenirs and used the tickets from the midway to get a shot glass.
After our fun at the midway, we went to wait for the shuttle bus back to the hotel. On the way there we passed this indoor maze with the annoying voice overs...that not once did we enter the whole time we were there. Since it was so annoying, I took a handful of their brochures for Spencer. Well, Spencer had a better idea. When we went to the casino to wait for our shuttle bus, Spencer took the velvet ropes and built his own maze, then he took the brochures from the annoying maze and posted them all over his maze. Then he laughed. Then I laughed, then I tried to calm him down because I did not want the casino security to come over.
When the bus finally arrived, Spencer asked the driver if he could take his picture with him, just to further his deliquentness for the evening.
Thursday morning we got up early to pack our things and go downstairs for one last free breakfast. We were so sad to leave, and the whole walk back to the bus terminal we tried to think of reasons we could use to stay in Niagara Falls. We couldn't really come up with anything, unfortunately. And on Friday we returned to work, where I realised that my job is slowly sucking the soul out of me. I wanted to cry when I returned to work, not because my vacation was over but because I truly hate my job and everything that goes along with it. I just wanted to be back in Niagara, with the sun beaming down on me, walking the length of the falls, cracking jokes, taking pictures and enjoying myself. If I could go back there tomorrow I would.
Anyways, I have a ton of pictures and I will do a collage of them soon, just to prove that I really was there.

sometimes it is NOT sunny in Niagara....sometimes.
work will always suck the soul out of you until you find the work that means the world to you....it's all just momentum to get back to school to follow the dream...

Going back to work the night after a vacation is just about the most dreadful feeling in the world.

Looking forward to your pics!

I know how you can stay there...get a job in the annoying maze!

Speaking of job: that one is temporary. You're doing the college thing so that you can get a real one that you like rather than needing to work in a hated grocery store for the rest of your productive life.

But ou knew that. I'm just being the annoying auntie!!
