I can understand. So many wonderful tourist areas in America have turned into places like that.. Here in the Smokies, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and Sevierville are all tourist 'traps' these days filled with all kinds of junky things for kids.... Just kills us!!!!<br /><br />We went to Niagara Falls in 2002--and loved it. Of course, we went to see the waterfalls. We also went on the Maid of the Mist boat ride. George almost ruined his camera there --when it got so wet.<br /><br />We stayed on the Canadian side farther south a bit at the Holiday Inn (not near the 'strip' area where you were)... We did eat dinner (and paid big bucks) up in that big tower.. RIP-OFF for sure.... Another tourist trap!!!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-18149923849002171552011-08-02T07:21:48.656+10:002011-08-02T07:21:48.656+10:00The water looks so... powerful - what a wonderful ...The water looks so... powerful - what a wonderful view you had from your little boat.Diannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806482148547283594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-42985574865007098302011-08-02T06:30:21.692+10:002011-08-02T06:30:21.692+10:00Wow!! looks amazing!

I read that because of what happened at Niagara the US government made more of an effort to preserve beautiful scenic areas into National Parks, like Yosemite and Yellowstone. Unfortunately, it was already too late for Niagara.<br /><br />We went on the Maid of the Mist with our children about 20 years ago and we also also went into the caves behind the falls.
