Niagara Falls / Syracuse

Last week Kelsey and I headed to New York (state) for a mini vacation and friend's wedding. The wedding was in Syracuse, but we had never been to Niagara Falls, so to Buffalo we flew! First picture is the falls at night from our hotel room. Unfortunately, we got in so late, we only got two pictures.

Below is again from the Marriott Fallsview.

We did the Journey Under the Falls, which brings you under the falls thru a tunnel, and a couple of viewing windows, to the bottom. It was pretty cool, although for the money, you might as well get the pass for four different sights. We didn't do the Maid of the Mist.

Obligatory video.

After Niagara Falls, we drove out to Syracuse. On Thursday, we did some winery tours, all near the Finger Lakes. There's a number of wineries, and we went to 4 or 5.

An old school wine press. Don't think any of the wineries use this anymore!

The Cayuga Ridge winery. Cayuga Lake was the specific lake we toured. They're mostly along the western shore of the lake.

Grape field. These were Syrah grapes.

The Thirsty Owl! This was a nice winery, very tasty.

On to the actual wedding, here's the wedding party. Kelsey made the dress she's wearing. Slaved over it, even!

And that was about it.
