Niagara-On-The-Lake weekend

Leah and I had an awesome time in Niagara-On-The-Lake last weekend. First time since the kids were born that we took off for a weekend (well - a night at least). Mom & Dad Chapman were kind enough to watch the kidlets while we went galivanting around in Niagara wine country. :-)

We stayed at the Queen's Landing hotel. Very nice hotel...



We had a mid-range room reserved, but when the bellhop brought us up to our room, he noticed that our heater was making a loud noise, so we were upgraded to a deluxe room. Woohoo! Score! Here are some room pics:

We spent the afternoon walking around the downtown area - tasting wines, and tasting more wines. :-) Most from Peller Estates Winery. After which, we hit the hotel bar. ahhhh - kid-free!

Soon it was time for dinner...

Holy cow - talk about tasty. I ate their specialty - Venison. So all night long I got to tell Leah that I was eating Bambi. And boy - is that good eatin'!!

We both slept in nicely until 10am (haven't done THAT in a loooong time!), then had some quick danishes at a local bakery before heading home.
