Buffalo, New York October 2008

We went to Buffalo last week and had a lot of fun seeing my family and some family who I have not seen in 30 years. Yes, 30 years. The last time I saw some of my cousins, we were playing together as young kids and 3o years later, our kids were playing together.

While in Buffalo, we ate lots of wings and Nick loved them. We visited my old stomping grounds, including my maternal grandparents old house on Lombardy in Lancaster and let the kids walk in Como park like I had done many, many years ago. Only for them, it was 47 degrees and blustery. Not a nice walk in the park kind of day. We found that Vargos Pizza & Wings was now Picasso's, but the wings and pizza were still great.

We went to Lockport on the Erie Canal and watched a small ship go through the two locks there.


We visited my old home on Steele Circle in Niagara Falls

and no trip to Buffalo would be complete without a trip to Niagara Falls.


So, we visited the falls and took a trip on the Maid of the Mist.


More coming soon.

Re: our house in Niagara Falls-I think I see my front tooth still lying there on the street from when I crashed my bike while trying to grab the box of Sunmaid raisins from the bike basket (Holy run-on sentence, Batman!). No wonder I don't like raisins!

Fun trip, fun pictures!

So don't let it wait again until your kids' kids are the ones meeting each other. Keep that date for 2010. Aunt Joanne

What wonderful memories you were able to share with your family. I remember taking you and Jennifer to Como Park (behind gram and Buppa's house) to catch polliwogs and other little fish below the falls. There were great memories for me there too!
Love,
