Wow, great photos, Todd! I haven't been to Niagara Falls since I was kindergarten age, would love to get back sometime. Hope you and your wife had a good trip.
That long building visible in the background of the third picture was a transformer house, all that's left of a hydroelectric plant built in 1895. Can you tell there are electricians in the family? LOL
That's a bit like our family, Kelley; we use terms like
bow echo and
towering cu (cumulus clouds). I'm afraid all three kids got a weather geek gene, and after 18 years I think I absorbed it by osmosis or something.
