Road Trip!

I’m in the middle of a whirlwind of traveling!!  I am in Atlanta house hopping until I leave again for Jekyll Island this weekend for a wedding!  For the last 10 days I’ve been traveling across 13 states and Canada with a group from Peachtree City, GA.  I went along as a chaperone and the photographer! We left Atlanta on Friday, June 17 and drove up to Ohio.  Visited Cleveland and Lake Erie, Cedar Point Amusement Park, and went to a Cleveland Indians Baseball game!

Monday night after being at Cedar Point all day, we drove over to Buffalo, NY and went straight to Niagara Falls to see the Falls at night from the Canadian side!

The next day we went back to visit from the American side and ride the Maid of the Mist down in the Falls!!  This is a MUST do if you visit the Falls!!  It was AMAZING!!!!!  One of my favorite parts of the trip!!!

Early Tuesday morning we drove over to NYC, it was a first visit for most of the kids with us so it was a lot of fun showing them all of the sites and how to shop in Chinatown!!!

The first thing we did when we arrived in NYC is go see The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway!  We had the BEST seats and got a backstage tour after the show and met a few of the cast members!!  This was another favorite part of the trip for me!!!

I am currently on a road trip with my second family and a few youth from Griffin, GA chaperoning and taking pictures for them!  We left from Atlanta on Friday June 17 and drove up to Cleveland, OH.  Saturday we walked around downtown Cleveland most of the day and went the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, then a Cleveland Indians baseball evening game!  I will hopefully have time to post more pictures tonight or tomorrow but I wanted to post a preview of this morning!  Niagara Falls is AMAZING!!!!  More pictures and details to come soon!!!
