Me Existing In Niagara Falls


Our hotel was a Marriott hotel with a spa. When we stopped the car (for the final
time), the nice people unloaded our suitcases and we entered the clean, beautiful
lobby. No lie that you would say that it’s not nice. After forever of my Dad doing
hotel beeswax with the hotel managers, we rode up the elevator, to our hotel
room floor any my Dad said we wanted a view of the falls. And even if my Dad
said for us to get a falls view room, we didn't. So my Dad complained about it.
And did it work? Yes! We got moved to floor I’m pretty sure 11. We did get our
new, nicer and bigger bathroom, and bigger room. My Dad put his computer
down. We went to see the fireworks and they were nice looking. Then we went
to a restaurant and I ordered pasta. It’s my little way of seeing things is that
when I’m starving, I wonder when the food is coming, and I kind of what I did.
The restaurant was VERY close to the hotel. We walked down the block and
across the street, there was our hotel!! So after we ate, we went back to the
hotel and went up to our hotel room. I was a little bored and since we can’t do
some stuff since it’s nighttime. So I played games on my Dad’s computer until it
was bedtime.


The next day… It was day 2 of me being in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Today was
fun big time! We went on the bus tour around the falls. (And anyway, the falls
was beautiful, it looked like the waterfalls all over the place, even the mist
made it pretty) We woke up and went down the elevator and this happened
BEFORE we did the tour. We went walked to this breakfast place in the middle
of nowhere, but it was nice! My parents had pancakes and I had Froot Loops
but from CANADA!!!!!!!!!! After we ate, we walked back to the hotel. On the
way, my Mom said while walking “We are going to do the falls tour.” and I was
like “Cool.” So then we went back to back to the hotel and I guessed watched
Canada’s “The Weather Network” for weather for our area. Didn't show that
much rain. GOOD! I put a clock for the tour on my Mom’s phone… just telling
you, I guess. We rode the elevator down to the lobby! And guess what we were
going? ON THE BUS TOUR!!!!!!!!! The person driving the bus came inside the
lobby and picked us up. We got on and just noticed I never ever been on a
non-school bus in 2018! I mean yeah! We went to Journey Behind The Falls.
I got my poncho on and it took forever to get on the elevator that takes us down
to the tunnels. “When will it ever come to out turn!?” I said. When it was finally
our elevator turn, we strolled down the elevator and… into the caves! (Slash
tunnels.) We took a look at the poster things on the walls about the city,
including the Honeymoon Bridge collapse and the boy that fell into the falls
and survived. At one point, a kind lady took my Dad’s phone and took a photo
of us. There was even a close up photo of my Mom’s face in worry or
something else. We came outside deep down in the falls and got of breath of
fresh and not cave air. After that, my Dad took a photo of the old Journey
Behind The Falls that is just a good old fashion cave. (I never saw a cave in my
life…) After Journey Behind The Falls, came the bus, AGAIN. We stopped at a
little stop to take photos of the water spout and there is this scary ride where
you go on this thing and it drags you across the falls and back and maybe goes
back to the United States! We didn't have time to do it! But my Mom took a
picture on the spout and we climbed back onto the bus. The road we were
traveling on is called “Niagara Parkway”, but it’s not a highway but there are
roads that are called “parkway” or “highway”. Then comes my most favorite
part of the whole trip; Maid Of The Mist. When we walked inside the building,
we were the first one (I guess there was a short line) to get on the elevator.
We rode downstairs. And it was a long line for the boat ride, whoever got on
would think it’s long, but a lot people get on at the same time. I got a pink
poncho and got on the boat! There was a coffee man (or women) selling stuff
like coffee or other drinks. We stayed outside, at the back of the boat and on
the first floor. SWISH! The water is being knocked on my poncho. It was fun!
At one point, me and my parents went inside where the coffee stand was. (It
was cool being inside of the boat and the pool of the falls.) Then went outside
into the wrath of the falls. After the best part of the whole trip, it was time to go
back to the hotel! When we got off the bus, after dropping us off at the road of
Fallsview Boulevard, (that was the name of the road the hotel was on.) we went
out to eat! It took about 9 million years to find a place to eat, but is was fine!
We found a place and ate there. It was attached to a hotel, and I thought it was
a mall! And also, probably only on the Canada side, it was IHOP city! There
were IHOP restaurants everywhere! We went to a ice cream place dessert,
and it was like the ice cream place in my local mall, the Westfield Trumbull
Mall in Trumbull, Connecticut. I got my ice cream (in a cup with a spoon)
which was a chocolate ice cream! Back at the hotel, at nightime, me and my
Mom (without my Dad, he was taking care of some business) tried to watch to
nightly fireworks from our hotel room, but could not be able to see them. But
we were like, “Oh well, that’s fine!”.
