Hi everyone,
I know that we've been home for more than a week now, but I decided to say a farewell to Kentucky.
We had a lot of fun in Kentucky. I can now say I did more things. I have been inside a LIFE-SIZE replica of Noah's Ark and I've seen Kentucky Derby horses and the Kentucky Derby racetrack. I got burnt (and tanned) and I now remember so much more about Niagara Falls! Though the funny thing is I didn't remember much about the falls I remembered more about all the people and Clifton Hill!!
I've been going through some photos and they're all really cool of the things that we saw and did!!
I love this blogging thing though because now I can go back and look over all my words and my photos that I actually thought were nice!
Love,
Anna-Lee
Hope y'all will keep reading my other blog. http://dovestelegraph.blogspot.ca/

Water!!
Hi everyone,
Today I got soaking wet. Not only from rain but from the famous Niagara Falls. Today we toured Niagara Falls, we did the Hornblower Boat Cruise then we also got to do the tour behind the falls. As you can guess we all got absolutely SOAKED! We also walked through Clifton Hill and looked at all the wonderfully goofy things that are there.
We are looking forward to tomorrow as we get to visit my grandparents in their new apartment. They're going to show us all their furniture in their new home too!!
So without talking more we're going to show you all some photos.

Hello everybody,
I am sure that you enjoyed the photos I put up yesterday. But as I said we saw fireworks so my mom has finally been able to download them and I am now able to put it up! I really wish I could put the whole 10-15 minute video on my blog but I don't think that would work!
Photos will have to do.

Driving on and on and on!
Hello everyone,
I hope you're all having a good week!
Today we drove. That's all we did, we drove from Bowling Green, Kentucky to Niagara Falls, Canada.
Before I begin I will apologize. Yesterday I said that I would blog about yesterday. Well I'm not going to. I am going to let you guys read my moms description of our day yesterday. Here I'll make it easy for you - http://tourkentucky2016.blogspot.ca/
Go ahead and read it. Because you'll miss many different and wonderful things if you don't.
Today we didn't do much other than drive and follow Henrietta's guide (our GPS). We stopped only 4 times I think, so that's not bad for us. So once we got to the line up for the boarder crossing life got more exciting. We waited for about 30 minutes and while we're waiting the fireworks that they do over the falls happened, and we could see it from our line-up. The fireworks were AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I had never seen anything like it. We saw fireworks at our cottage many times, this was so much better than that.
Once we got to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls (Fun Fact- The Canadian side is bigger, haha) we had to go through the loud, teenage part of town to our hotel. I can actually hear it from the tenth floor of our hotel!
Tomorrow we go to tour the falls and do whatever for one whole day. Then we drive to Ottawa and home.
I will keep you posted for tomorrow and the other days.
Love,
Anna-Lee

Traveling is...
I can name many different points of traveling that are good and many that are plain old terrible. But all in all I don't mind traveling. I mean I don't like the actual traveling part but once we get there it's pretty amazing! Today we drove for 4 hours to Bowling Green, KY, this is where we're going to spend 2 nights. Tomorrow we head off to the Mammoth Caves National Park over 300 miles of caves!
Anyways, now onto what we did today. I know we drove. But we also stopped in Louisville and did a couple of things there.
The first thing we did is go to a cemetery that is 300 acres big. Can you imagine how many dead people must be there? We wanted to go there because Colonel Sanders (the inventor of KFC) is buried there along with his wife. Also Muhammad Ali is buried there though they don't have his headstone yet just a little marker. They will have a nice headstone for him once they finish making it.
Then we went to the Kentucky Derby Museum the actual place of the Kentucky Derby! We saw the actual racetrack and the paddocks where the horses get ready. They have amazing grounds there and it is also very big. For just a 2 minute race they sure go to the extreme!!!!
We then went out for lunch at the Feast BBQ. It was really nice there and I had a really nice sandwich.
We then went for a drive so that I could show you all that there is actually a KFC Yum! Center! My dad wanted to go over a couple of bridges so somehow we ended up in Indiana!! But we did get turned around and we left to get to Bowling Green which we just got to about half an hour ago. Right now it is an hour behind Ottawa and also Florence where we just left from. So right now I am blogging at 10:45 (Ottawa time) and 9:45 (Bowling Green time)!
Hope you all enjoyed this blog. Sorry it's not to detailed (I am really tired).
Hope you all have a amazing night or day.
Love,
Anna-Lee
Photos to come tomorrow when I'm awake.

Hi everyone,
Today was our last day in Florence, Kentucky. Tomorrow we drive all the way to Bowling Green. On the way we are going to stop in Louisville and go to the Kentucky Derby Museum. We may also may drive around a bit. That is where the KFC Yum Centre is. I will have to get lots of photos to show you.
The day today was pretty busy. We finished the museum and did all the gardens that they have. They have a swamp, rain forest, and a butterfly & hummingbird garden. We did not see any hummingbirds but we did see lots of butterfly's. Many different kinds too. We didn't do any zip lining today so we could finish.
We also spent awhile in the gift shop, though it is more than just a gist shop it is a whole bookstore too. My mom loved that she got a lot of books and movies that we will start looking at when we get home. After the book store we went to 2 movies, one was about Aliens - Fact or Fiction? and Cosmos - A look at the sky!
Those both were really interesting. It was in a theater that the screen was on the roof. It was really nice and I had never been in a theater like that.
Then after we left we went to Tusey House Tavern. It was very nice food but a lot of it. I was practically stuffed after that.
It sounds like it's going to be hot in Bowling Green tomorrow. We will be driving for about 4 hours though knowing us more like 5.
I hope you all have a good week! I will keep on blogging, I feel I am doing pretty well this trip with blogging.
xoxo,
Anna-Lee
