Hard to believe this was 10 years ago, where does the time go....
I was in awe and drenched from the mist!! The roar of the water and gushing of the falls was deafening and the spray of the mist was so powerful it came down in a constant turret!!
Truly one of the most awe inspiring and majestic experiences I have every witnessed!! There were many areas along the catwalk to stop and take in the beauty of the falls. It was pure grace that I found myself alone at the edge of one of the platforms nearest the falls, head, face, heart and hands lifted in awe and praise to God for the majesty of His Wonder as the mist gushed down over me. A most powerful experience!!
I didn't want to leave but everyone was already up at least two tiers away and so I had to force myself to leave.....for me it was the best part of the Cave of the Winds!!! 
Niagara Falls is awe inspiring and amazing and it was a blessed family trip. And a big note to self for next trip to Niagara, bring a waterproof camera and take the Cave of the Winds tour without a group so we can stay there for hours if we want to!!
Funny thing is I had never had a burning desire to visit Niagara Falls. Now after having been, I am so grateful that we went and can't wait to go back!!
Isn't it amazing how things work out, we initially chose to go the Niagara Falls because my bonus daughter Emily had a fascination with Canada and always wanted to go there. So the the first holiday and long weekend a month after we got back from our honeymoon, we decided to get her close to Canada by taking her to Niagara Falls while we worked on getting her a passport so we could eventually take her to Canada.
Niagara Falls is breathtaking and awe-inspiring and if you ever have the chance to go, I pray that you do. I don't think it matters which side you see it from, it is ALL beautiful.
And things always work out. The following year my sister gave me a generous gift of a week using their time share for my birthday, my choice wherever I wanted to go. I found a great place in Mont Tremblant, Canada. So with passports in hand we took a fabulous family trip to Canada the following July.
Mont Tremblant is awesome in its own right, it was a wonderful trip, but the majesty of Niagara Falls can never be matched!
