    I visited Niagara Falls 20 years ago when I was a teenager. I thought it was so beautiful, but probably didn’t have the same appreciation for it that I would now. My husband has never been, so I keep wanting to plan a trip there so we can both experience it as adults. It’s really only a 6 hour drive for us. Your post has given me every intention of making the trip happen. Thanks for sharing!
