Tuesday - July 17

We had such a fun day...….Mark went to the store first thing to get milk and Tim Bits (assorted mini donuts from Tim Hortons).    We exercised (I'm back lifting weights).   The boys rode bikes and Connor swabbed the decks!
 
Around 11ish we left on Catrina and had a great ride to Buffalo stopping at Blue Water Marina for a pump out and diesel.   Went thru a lock.... some new experiences for the boys!
 
Off we go to Buffalo

 Tied up at Canalside - very pretty area with walkways, flowers, restaurants in a park-like setting.

Had a very good lunch at the Liberty House (compliments of Liam - thank you)!!!   We left this pretty place and off to anchor at Seaway Piers - the boys enjoyed dinghy rides and then swam.

Refreshing swim - water temp was 80
 
Brady at the helm - he enlightened us with his boat knowledge as he just got his new license.
 
It was such a beautiful day although very windy.    Back to Smith Boys and then off for ice cream at Mississippi Muds (the boys and I shared a "show boat" (5 different flavors of ice cream, brownies, sprinkles and other goodies).    Grandpa had a root beer float

Show Boat - deeeelish!
And now watching the All-Star game...
 
Tomorrow we are off to Niagara Falls...
