Time to Go Home

 Sadly, we had to wake up, clean up, get ready to end our memorable trip. We drove to Canada to see Niagara Falls! Because we had to wait behind a super slow vehicle full of Amish people at the border, we only had 5 minutes to gaze upon the falls. But it was a majestic 5 minutes! We drove through Canada over to Buffalo and caught a flight to Charlotte. We had a quick turn around there but then had to wait on the tarmac for an hour to take off. But, we flew into LAX and the sun was still shining. Man, I love California. Back East was cool, but my heart belongs in the west.
