Day 3

Today we went to several different things.  We went to the Butterfly Conservatory, the Floral Clock, Botanical Gardens, Jouney Behind the Falls, Whirlpool Aerocar, Maid of the Mist, Whitewater Walk, and did a lot of walking around.  Spent the night at the bed and breakfast.

The Butterfly Conservatory was cool. They release new butterflies at 10am every day and had thousands of species there.  The botanical gardens were on the same grounds and upkept nicely.

The Floral Clock was interesting.  The design was celebrating 50 years since the first Scout Jamboree.

The Journey Behind the Falls was neat.  We got to go down into the rock behind the falls and see a couple of outlets behind the water.  We then got to go out to a platform right next to them.  Its to the left of the falls in the picture.  We also went on the Maid of the Mist, which is the boat.  We got wet despite the disposable rain gear they gave us.

The Aerocar was fun.  The Whirlpool shown here rotates different directions depending on the waterflow.  Today it was rotating counter clockwise.  We also saw the Class 6 rapids on the WhiteWater walk, which is the 3rd picture.  Fun little 1/4 mile walk along the gorge.
