Well, we made it to 2019. Let me tell you about how we spend the last couple days of 2018.
Right before the New Year, Don Manuel’s first passport came in the mail. We weren’t expecting it for weeks!
Now I ask you, what would you do if you lived in New York and your love just got their passport and has never been out of the county. That’s right…you jump in the car and head to Canada!
If you have never seen the Falls from the Canadian side, you haven’t seen the Falls. They are glorious and spectacular!
Not gonna lie, it was cold next to the Falls…we should have dressed warmer, but when you jump in the car without a plan you’re not always prepared. Good thing we have love to keep us warm
After the Falls, we went to check out Lundy’s Lane and Clifton Hill. We rode the giant ferris wheel.
We also did this Zombies Attack! thing. It’s a 6-D experience. You’re strapped into a seat and wear 3-D glasses. The seat rumbles and moves like the car you’re riding in on the screen. Wind blows on you. And, you have to shoot the freaking 3-D zombies that are attacking you. Holy Hannah! Don Manuel came in 3rd and I came in 7th…not bad for our first time! We’d make a pretty good zombie apocalypse team!
After zombies, we had a reservation at the Skylon Tower revolving restaurant for dinner. The views from up there are amazing! You revolve around and get to see everything. The food is delicious. Basically, awesome and romantic.
After dinner, romance over…time for strippers! Seriously, I had heard A LOT about the strip clubs in Niagara Falls, Canada. Don Manuel, always the good sport, agreed to go with me We picked Sundowners, and we were not disappointed! Ummmm…yeah, that’s probably all I can say about our experiences there.
Except…see all that cash he’s holding? We didn’t have ANY of that when we went home
We got home around 2am…napped…and got ready for New Year’s Eve! We went out with friends to get our groove on. We popped wayyyyy too many bottles of prosecco and had the best midnight kiss <3 The balloons all had little sayings or pieces of advice on them…I loved that! And, can we talk about Don Manuel shaving his face for the new year?! I have never seen his whole face. I gotta say, I spent the night feeling like I was out cheating on him with a different man!
We finished the night in the hot tub at home.
New Year’s Day was restful. We had a living room picnic for dinner…seafood and my best batch of Puerto Rican rice so far (turns out, I need to use at least twice as much seasoning as white people are comfortable using!).
Happy New Year, all! We definitely set out intentions for more adventures and random road trips in 2019!
