Niagara Falls (Finally)

Yesterday we finally reached Niagara Falls
the first, and only, official stop we have planned for the trip home.
As we followed the crowds towards the falls, 
Orin, sensing excitement in the air, 
started flailing his limbs and cougaring wildly.
The people walking in front of us kept turning around to watch us,
intrigued by the crazy baby.

The falls were nothing short of spectacular

and were highlighted by picture-perfect rainbows.
It was well worth the extra trip.
After New York we drove through Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is the birthplace of the 
Constitution of the United States
and the Declaration of Independence.

They also have a pretty cool glass yurt.
And an optimistic motto.
Today, we travelled through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa.
Highlights of that section of the trip will have to wait, though,
because I am off to bed now to dream of fields of corn
as far as the eye can see.

Goodnight from the central time zone.

Great shots of the falls. Sucks that we couldn't meet up. I think we're going to have to come out to Oregon sometime. You guys are really cruising through the states. 4 states in one day. PA's motto suits you well Lindsay. Maybe you all should move there instead. At least that would take care of the no internal compass thing. Miss you much. Love you all lots.
