Better to Laugh

We just got back from Niagara Falls:  two days travel time and two days at the falls.  The falls were phenomenal!  The power of the rushing water left me breathless.  The weather was cold; there were snow flurries on Friday.  Saturday was sunny, but the wind was still cold.  Despite the cold weather, we walked and hiked a lot, and we took the Maid of the Mist boat ride up to the base of the falls.  Needless to say, we enjoyed lots of hot foods:  soup, coffee, hot chocolate, etc.  I could have stayed longer, but reality is never far away.  Tomorrow, it is back to school.  Of course, there isn’t much time left before Summer Break, so that makes the end of Spring Break not seem so sad.

Side note:  In the car on the way back, I started knitting a scarf for the 2012 Super Bowl volunteers.  I haven’t knitted in a while, so there were a lot of mistakes to fix in the beginning.  They say if you can correct your mistakes you have become a true knitter.  I must be a knitting genius, as many mistakes as I fixed!  I am back on track, though.  I’m pretty sure I can have it done by the deadline of November 2011.
