Summer Vacation, Part 2 - Ithaca

The second part of our summer vacation had us back home from Kentucky for about 15 hours, then up to drop off the boys with Grandma and Grandpa M. before flying off to Ithaca to FINALLY visit James!
And what a great host we had!!  On Day ONE we were already at Niagara Falls.  We saw the Falls from the Canadian side, the U.S. side, and from a boat in the water, and it is really amazing from ALL angles.  Maybe just a little DAMP though, at times!
Ithaca and surrounding area is beautiful!  Gorges to hike and breathtaking waterfalls...luckily we had some perfect weather to take in all the outdoor activities.
When driving between the gorges and parks, one MUST stop at all of the wineries!!
We also toured the Ithaca College campus, ate out (with no kids to keep track of!), went kayaking, and enjoyed our time catching up with James!

Looks like you had fun with James. And, we sure enjoyed having the boys all to ourselves.
