We went to Canalside which is pretty area that runs along the Buffalo River. There were lots of people there kayaking and enjoying the beautiful day. The “World’s Largest Rubber Duck” found a home on the Buffalo River for a few days, which obviously was quite…

We wound up going to Evviva, which was a trendy little spot, where we enjoyed a couple breakfast sandwiches, OJ, and of course, a bottle of Canada Dry. From there, we walked the city and then drove the city before making our way over to Niagra Falls for the rest of the day. Here’s some more pics of the…

    Toronto, Ontario, Canada

    September 15, 2020 - By 

    Today I’m continuing to talk about what we did on our Rochester, NY trip. This was our 3rd day. However, we got up ate breakfast at the hotel and drove about 3 hours across the border to Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Yeah, so I love old bridges and I always take pictures of them. There’s usually nothing special about them, just interesting landmarks. This was taken in Gasport, NY at 43°11’43.518″ N 78°35’38.208″ W New York apples are so good! There was pretty long line to cross over the border at Queenston Bridge, but it moved decently fast. We were starting…

    Rochester, NY | Trip Report Day 2

    August 11, 2020 - By 

    Today I’m sharing with you our Day 2 of our Rochester, NY trip. That morning I dropped Rob off at his training and headed on over to the Erie Canal. We were there the night before, but it was getting dark. So I was anxious to see it more in the daytime. That morning it was pretty foggy and overcast, which made for some interesting photos. The Erie Canal is a canal in New York, United States that is part of the east–west, cross-state route of the New York State Canal System, which was built to create a navigable water…

    Rochester, NY | Trip Report Day 1

    September 4, 2016 - By 

    Back in August, Rob flew out to Rochester, NY on Sunday for some training. However, I didn’t have enough vacation days so I couldn’t fly out until Tuesday night. I left work a little early to head to the airport. I arrived in Rochester just before midnight. The next day I drove Rob to his training, so I could use the rental car. I had my day roughly planned out. First stop was the Charlotte–Genesee Lighthouse located on Lake Ontario at the mouth of the Genesee River, which is about 7.5 miles North of Rochester. I wanted to see this…
