Maid to Order

Some relatives were in town a couple months ago, so we took em to Niagara Falls on a day trip. Obviously, a big attraction there is the boat ride, Maid of the Mist. You know, the one that takes you upstream until you're almost under the falls.

They didn't feel like taking a ride, but we did make the mistake(?) of going into the gift shop. Amazing. Everything you could dream of = Maid of the Mist.



















































We needed this add up all our puchases:





I must admit though, it is a hell of a ride!

Nice.. I have some great pictures of Quadro and JustJess (from the first time I met them ) of us on the Maid of the Mist. Of course I'm sure Jess is hoping that I don't post those pictures... which I won't.

Wow joe, they let you take photos of their items? You either looked like a spy setting up your own gift shop or the ultimate tourist.

By the way, I didn't see any Maid of the Mist rain ponchos. I sure hope they had them...you know, just in case they actually get near the falls...

I don't get it. Is there a dress code on this boat? Why is everybody wearing blue like that?

It seems to be a thing--all the toy Maids of the Mist have little blue passengers too...

Marketing Marketing...if you fill a niche exploit it too the extreme. I collect Shot Glasses from the places I go. It's sure better than thimbles my aunt collects.

Not so sure of that cJoe. Thimbles look a bit like mini shot glasses. She probably just doesn't drink as much as you........

Ahhhh I was hoping for cute girls in short dresses and fishnets. The guy in the beard just doesn't do it for me.

Hope you had fun.
