Happy Days!

We came to the Niagara Peninsula of Ontario specifically to see Niagara Falls, but we wanted to camp in a rural area, not the urban and touristy neighborhood that the falls are located in. So we chose a campground from our trusty Woodall's campground book that was about 20 miles from the falls. From its description, it sounded right up our alley, so we pointed the motorhome that-a-way and crossed our fingers.

As we drove to the campground, we were really liking what we were seeing. Peach trees, vineyards, cherry trees, vineyards, pear trees, vineyards, apple trees...and more vineyards! Without consciously planning it (I swear!), we found ourselves right in the middle of Ontario's wine country. Oh, happy days!

So what began as a one-day stop to see Niagara Falls, turned into a two-day stop so some proper wine tasting could be conducted. We also took some time to just meander around the beautiful countryside, dotted with small villages.



Next up...Niagara Falls!

I look forward to your comments on the visit to Niagara Falls; hope you include tips on where to "camp" and what to avoid or not miss in this very touristy area for those of us who haven't been there -- yet!
