A Boat Ride for a Close-Up Viewing of the Niagara Falls

updated on 2 Comments on A Boat Ride for a Close-Up Viewing of the Niagara Falls

We hopped on the boat tour, Maid of the Mist, to get a close-up view of the Niagara Falls

The Niagara Falls was a must-see stop and on our list of places to see. The locals told us for the best experience we should actually venture over to the Canadian side of the falls. Apparently, the New York side has a limited viewing of the impressive Horseshoe portion of the Niagara Falls. They also told us, if travelling across the border wasn’t an option, we should hop on the boat tour to get a close-up view.

My brother and Colton’s buddy Chris came to visit while we were in Buffalo and wanted to see the Niagara Falls as well. While our family was ready to go with our passports and check out the Canadian viewpoint, our guests did not. Instead, we opted to get a close-up view of the Niagara Falls from the boat tour, The Maid of the Mist. The experience was absolutely incredible! The boat gets you up close and personal with the Falls, and the mist gave us all quite a drenching. We were given complimentary ponchos before the boat ride which sort of helped, but the breeze kept blowing our hoods off.

The kids have made another video all about their experience to Niagara Falls, along with fun facts that they learned while there were there. Enjoy!

About Author

Hello, my name is Kayla, and I'm a registered nurse from the Midwest. My husband and I have celebrated 20 years of marriage and are parents to two children. Our eldest, who has special needs, faced challenges in a traditional school environment. After exhausting all our options to support him, we chose to take a year-long break from society. We sold our house and most belongings, purchased an RV, and set off on an adventure across the United States. This year of travel allowed us to grow both individually and as a family.

My son and I both grapple with ADHD. I was unaware of my condition until it was pointed out by my son's psychiatrist during our first meeting. The most significant challenge I face with ADHD is communication. In one-on-one interactions, I manage fairly well, but when I'm nervous, upset, or deeply engaged with the subject, my thoughts become muddled, and my speech turns into a jumbled mess. Adding to the complexity, I have an INFP personality type according to the Myers-Briggs chart, which means I often find myself nervous, upset, or deeply passionate. To deal with these communication hurdles, I tend to fall back on silence, keeping my thoughts to myself.

Blogging has reignited my passion for storytelling, with travel as my muse, and helped me find my voice. Despite the irony of being a storyteller who struggles with verbal communication, I've found my voice through travel blogging and newsletters. This has allowed me to express my true, authentic self—a goal that has long been elusive. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all my readers for giving me a platform to be unapologetically me.

I would love to have you follow along in our journey as we navigate RV life, homeschooling and discover amazing places across the country!
