Brandon's dad and stepmom invited us to meet them at Niagara Falls over fall break, so we added a couple days at a national park in Ohio and had a nice little getaway.
Our first stop was Cuyahoga Valley National Park outside of Cleveland, Ohio. We had perfect weather while there - 70s and sunny - and we took advantage by hiking through the gorge and up to a waterfall.
The next day, we headed up to New York and made a stop at Kirtland to see some church history sites.
We made it to Niagara Falls late that afternoon and went for a quick walk down to the falls. Good thing we did, because it was the last day of sunshine that we had the whole trip.
The next day, Brandon and Jackson went fishing in the morning then we headed down to do the Cave of the Winds walk. We took an elevator ride to the bottom of the falls, then walked up the platform to be within 10 feet of the falls.
We walked up to the Hurricane Deck which was crazy but so much fun.
It was rainy that day, but the fall colors were still beautiful. We really enjoyed our visit.
The next day we drove home. An 8-hour drive turned into a 10.5-hour drive due to some road construction, which was rough, but at least the sunset was interesting!
