by The other weekend Dana, Tucker and I went to Niagara Falls. It was awesome! If you go, stay on the Canadian side. Not that the American side sucks, it is not as nice.   As you can see from the photo, I spotted a double rainbow. I will totally be going back as I love casinos and waterfalls. It is the best of both worlds.
