Trip to see half-frozen Niagra Falls and celebrate my birthday!

For my birthday, my boyfriend took me to see Niagra Falls. I went once when I was a baby, so of course, I do not remember anything. Many people see the Falls, but only a few get to see snow and ice, too! We stayed in Buffalo, since it was only a short drive to the falls from the city. The parts of Buffalo that we saw reminded me of Asheville, NC- kind of funky with a lot of character. One of the most fun parts of the trip was to go ice-skating. :) I've only been once before- in a mall in Florida... Much different than ice-skating outside with snow on the ground. So much laughter and fun.
