USA Trip, Days 5 & 6

         Days 5 and 6 consisted me travelling to Pittsburgh and was in the nicest hotel and casino there and was close to the River and also the Pittsburgh Steelers Stadium where the football team plays which is my dad's team and as you all know I'm a Packers fan, there is a picture of me with thumbs down LOL. As the crime rate is bad in the city we ate in the hotel and was worth it, had a hot ham sandwich with honey mustard, we delicious! Also got to go play at the casino and gamble a little bit and won the first time I ever gambled at a casino so was worth it. I tried a second time and went bust but oh well I won the first time around.

    The next day we took a side trip to West Virginia which was like half hour from Washington, Pennsylvania which I will get to tomorrow. Anyways we went to Oglebay where there is flower beds after flower beds. Really beautiful state. Wish we had more time down there to explore. The folks there were super friendly and anywhere in the US they've been great minus the Wendy's experience which I will talk about tomorrow. Lady that stopped to chat with us was really surprised we came so far from Canada to visit West Virginia. Anyways I got some souvenirs from there including a West Virginia Mountaineers which is their University there so nice to have that. Anyways we travelled back to PA and I hope you guys enjoyed this and I will talk to you all tomorrow for the final 2 days of the trip.

USA Trips Day 3 & 4!

            Day 3 we headed to Buffalo New York with a stop in Niagara Falls, NY which we have some found memories of Niagara Falls NY as we've been there for Hockey tournaments in the past. Anyways we went to Buffalo and attended a Bisons game as you can see on the right hand side they are indeed the affiliate triple A team to the Toronto Blue Jays. Was a fantastic time and was up close enough to their mascot Buster T Bison. He wasn't too far off from where we were sitting and honestly we were several rolls from the bottom actually and behind the Bison's dugout. 

        Day 4 we headed to Ohio to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Was really awesome and a lot to see and learn about and I actually learned about the early years of Rock and Roll and the history how rock began it's journey it was fascinating to learn the history and gave me a ton more respect for rock music. Small note we found where the Cleveland Browns NFL football team plays by accident as it is literally neighbours to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Anyways that is Days 3 and 4 of my trip, have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you all tomorrow for Days 5 and 6!

USA Trip Days 1 & 2 !

            With all the bad news out of the way, I want to talk about my trip with my parents. Days 1 and 2 was basically time in Niagara Falls Ontario, went mini golfing times 2. There was two courses, easy and hard to do so that was a ton of fun. We checked out all the different rides and the Ferris Wheel was really cool. Also got to see the falls all lit up but was on Day 2. 

     Also  went to the Butterfly Conservatory and saw an array of beautiful butterflies that my niece would actually really love. Was worth the money and visit. Also we took a drive up to Niagara on the lake and went to the town was nice to get out there and I tried Lavender cream rub on my knee which worked well and the pain was less then it was from all the walking I did there. Anyways I will talk to you all tomorrow for Days 3 & 4 and little note end of the week updates will be on Saturday this week for a change but talk to you all tomorrow.
