NYC Dinner Cruise






As you may know this has been a very exciting summer for me and I've gotten to do loads of fun and adventurous things. One of them was a lovely dinner cruise around Manhattan for one of friend's birthday. I'm very fortunate to be able to witness the beauty of New York so I thought I would share this with you. On the boat there was a dining area as well as a dance floor and a DJ. The dance floor was very well used that night. (Disclaimer: The boat in that picture is not the cruise ship).


These pictures are taken mostly to capture the pretty pink sky as the sun was setting.





The highlight of the cruise was seeing the Statue of Liberty up close. She looked incredible all lit up and what really stood out was the DJ playing "Coming to America" as we cruised past. It was an amazing experience.


Here is the beautiful city that never sleeps lit up at night. I always get the feeling that the city is alive whenever I'm in it or looking at it. It's truly an incredible feeling and I'm definitely in love with New York.


This was such an unforgettable night and was loads of fun for me and my friends. If you would like to see more photos and hear about the rest of my summer let me know in the comments! :)

Niagara Falls Canada





WOW I haven't made a blog post in forever. I have been sooo busy recently and really just enjoying my last month of summer with friends and family so I haven't gotten around to posting as much as I would like. But I thought it was time to share with you some of what I've been up to! A couple of weeks ago my family and I went up to Niagara Falls in Canada for a nice, long weekend. It was absolutely breathtaking just standing there looking at the falls. I can't really begin to explain how spectacular it was so I'll let the pictures do the talking. (Unfortunately, due to cloudy and rainy weather and my broken phone camera these pictures don't truly do the falls justice. My apologizes.)



These are the less famous but still outstanding waterfalls on the American side. That's Buffalo, New York to the left of them.



These arial photos were taken on the top of the Skylon Tower. It's basically a huge tower that gives an amazing view of the falls from above. I also couldn't help but notice how beautiful the city was as well.




This photo is of the Rainbow Bridge used to cross the border from Ontario, Canada to Buffalo, New York.



I was also able to go on a tour underneath the falls "A Walk Behind The Falls". The water is so loud you can barely hear anything except the roar! Absolutely incredible. 

As we only stayed one night at our hotel we had one chance to eat out for dinner. I have to say we succeeded in choosing the perfect place. We went into this restaurant right beside the falls.



This was the view from our table! I had to add the Canadian flag in there as well just to capture the full experience. This vacation was so beautiful and definitely unforgettable.

I'll also try to post more regularly from now on but it will be difficult as the upcoming months are super busy for me. If I do anything exciting or interesting you'll see it in a blog post sooner or later.
