On the Road Again, part 2: Niagara on the Lake

We left the cottage on Sunday morning and spent the day cruising with the windows down along the North shore of Lake Erie. It was beautiful! Orchards and fresh fruit stands decorated the pristine countryside...we loaded up on fresh peaches, tomatoes, and sweet corn. For lunch we found the local dive we'd been hoping for: Mackies...famous since 1911 for Orangeade and fresh-cut fries... and right on the beach. After a great day of driving we arrived at Niagara on the Lake for a week of fun with all of the Beckmans. Bike trips, pool time, waterfalls and good food filled four action-packed days with family. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa Beckman!
