| Adventure Mommy and the Yes Man (we sound like Superheroes!) |
The Yes Man and I recently celebrated our 16th anniversary. We decided to go to Niagara Falls and check out a few wineries - we hit 7 or 8 of them!! I really enjoy Ontario red wines and happy to report that we found a dozen or so to bring home with us. The beauty of going to Niagara wine region is that you get to taste and purchase wines that aren't necessarily available in the LCBO - so for that reason alone I highly recommend a visit.
We stayed at the Hilton Doubletree in Niagara Falls and it was wonderful!! If I did advertise my blog I would definitely recommend staying there. If only for the deliciously warm, gooey, chocolately, nutty cookie they give you on check in!! Yummmmmm! And the bonus is that it is centrally located in the Falls area - you can Clifton Hills to your hearts content or sip a Misto at Starbucks (thanks to my cousin Meg for that tidbit on the coffee). And not only did we sip our way through wine country, but we actually took in a bit of history too.
The kids had a weekend away as well. They had their own adventure with Gramma and Grampa - and somehow Naomi (am I really that surprised) convinced Gramma to bake a cake for our anniversary. I should mention that the oven at Gramma's house only gets used on special occasion - so this must have been super special all right LOL!!
When we returned home, the kids came in and presented their masterpiece to us - Naomi told us it was the Niagara Falls Cake. And boy, was it ever. Just check out the pic below:
