Today we drove across the Rainbow Bridge into Canada. We went to see the falls from across the river. When you are on the same side you can’t see them as well. Niagara Falls, Canada is known for all its beautiful flower gardens. While there we saw some men dressed in costumes with really big heads of the presidents on Mount Rushmore. After coming back into the USA we went to the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural National Historic Site. When President McKinley was shot in 1901 at the Pan American Exposition in Buffalo, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt traveled to Buffalo and stayed with the Wilcox family. When President McKinley died from his wounds, Roosevelt took his oath of office as the new President in his friend’s home. While we were there, the big headed presidents showed up and we took a picture of them. The house also contained a replica of President Roosevelt's West Wing office. While in Buffalo we went to the Anchor Bar and Grill. This is the bar that lays claim to being the first to make Buffalo wings. We had a platter. After coming back to the island we went back to the VFW for a beer and then on to our camp. We had to do laundry tonight.
