Outside of a few weekend trips to the Hamptons and a weekend in Washington DC and Philadelphia we haven’t done a lot of local travel. Our list of these getaways is still quite long with jaunts to Nantucket, Cade Cod, Newport, Boston, and Montreal still on the list. However, this past weekend, which also happened to be Juneteenth, we took advantage of the long weekend and drove from Manhattan to Niagara Falls, ending the trip in Toronto.

If I was going to encapsulate today in three words it would be long, incredible, and delicious. We woke up this morning at 6:30 AM and had to be out of the hotel by 8 AM. I went across the street and grabbed a cappuccino at Starbucks and we were out the door to meet our tour guide for the day, Pablo, outside our hotel.
