June 30, Day 4

Today was primarily a travel day (Ohio to Niagara Falls), so we had to have breakfast at "Bob Evans"...a heart attack waiting to happen!
We made sure to go through Munroe Falls, where Heather's Grandparents, "Pops and Duchess" Renner, buiilt and ran a swim/fishing/picnicking park club - and I visited every August as a child.




The main swimming lake and bathhouse

Local group of kids enjoying the lake(on a RAINY DAY)...usually this area is packed with people but weather dissuaded many!a


a nice area for a picnic








Swenson's famous hamburgers (this is an o;ld-time burger joint/drive-in in operation since the late 40's/early 50's)...they still hire local high school and college boys who run out to the car when you flash your headlights. Silver trays are still placed on a half-opened driver's-side window to put those greasy, yummy burgers (and BOB'S choc. shake) on!












Heather's 1st house...where she was born in Hudson, Ohio
















YEA! entering Canada (Bob says to hurry and put the camera away for SECURITY reasons...oops!)









Canadian "Horseshoe Falls" to the RIGHT, and the American (smaller) Falls to the LEFT...this pic is taken from our Marriott window :)

Wow - what an awesome trip so far! SWENSENS!!!! I want that right now! I remember it from childhood - one of my favorite memories is eating there.

Oh, and I found this on Gomer Griffith - there are tons of articles, biographies and everything on him including some in relation to Brigham Young.
