Our balcony table had a nice view of the bakery department.

Isn't Wegmans awesome? The brick bakery oven they build into most of their stores is the secret of their fantastic in-house bread. There's a Wegmans 35 miles north of smallville and it's a favorite destination. We can now enjoy a glass of wine or beer with a meal, before setting out to do the grocery shopping.

Salami Monster prompted a loud braying laugh from me. Very unladylike.

I'm going to the AAA office on my lunch break today, and can change money there.
At $1 Canadian = $.96 US, why bother? You might over-tip 4 cents, or 8 cents.
C'mon glatt, even you aren't that cheap... vacation ferchristsakes.

I never imagined that such a small balcony could have such a nice view.

What a view. LOVE the glassblowing -- so cool! I'm late to this thread -- are you guys planning to do the Lady of the Mist boat that takes you close to the falls?

Yeah, we did the boat ride. It was more fun than I was expecting. Really worth it. I'm glad we did it and recommend it without any reservations.

Here's a family portrait in the hotel. I set up the tripod on one of the queen beds. That hotel room was awesome. The shades were drawn when you walk in, so you can pull them back for the grand reveal.

Weird. Tapatalk is double posting my images. I tried editing one to remove the double post, but only managed to delete the salami monster pic.

Awesome photo sir! Yes this is confirmation that Tapatalk is misbehaving. I do not know why they are doing this.

Looks like it might have been the lazy guy using the phone. An update to tapatalk came out over a month ago and I just loaded it this morning. Let's see if it fixes the issue.

Here's an amusing picture from Letchworth State Park.
