Southern Terminus
[As transcribed by Daddy]
We were all up and out of the house at a decent hour this morning - tie to head for the southern terminus of the Bruce Trail at Niagara Falls, something we've been trying to do for a month and a half, only to be continually postponed (by things like the dog's illness, etc).
By the time we made it to the Niagara region (after a lengthy, traffic-heavy drive) it looked like we were gonna get postponed yet again due to heavy rain. We're happy that it rained - the lawn needs it - but it seemed as though we weren't meant to hike in the Niagara region. We abandoned our picnic plans and had a nice lunch at a decent restaurant in Niagara-On-The-Lake, during which the sun kinda came out and the rain stopped.
We drove over to Brock's Monument and looked everywhere for the start of the trail... eventually we found it and hiked for about an hour (I was kinda mopey because I wanted to play at the playground in the adjacent park). We saw two snakes and lots of Trilliums. I got to play at the playground on the way back to the car.
We drove past the falls themselves, but parking there was close to fifteen dollars, so we just decided to head back and have a late dinner. We were all pretty exhausted by the time we got home.
