No, that’s not a typo! I am truly posting about a trip from last year. To be precise, it was a trip from the end of August 2007. I know, I know, I’m a little slow, but better late than never.
About a year ago my family and I went to the Guinness World Records Museum on Clifton Hill. I had been many years before, and as was expected, some things had changed, and some things hadn’t. The two things in the entrance are a great attention grabber. I’ve got pictures of my 3 & 5 year-old sons as if they are the world’s heaviest man, and they loved trying to push the big rock. Once you get inside, there are lots of other interactive exhibits. Some are quite dated, but others are new. It’s been a while since we went, so I don’t remember everything, but I do remember that it was an enjoyable trip.
I took some pictures and posted them in the Guinness World Records Museum in Summer 2007 gallery. As is usually the case, you can see some thumbnails below, and the larger versions in the gallery.
Note: There are now 2,509 images in Niagara Falls Image Gallery.
Last Thursday I received the latest newsletter from the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview & Spa.

Someone with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls (including pictures):
This was our second trip into Canada, to see Niagara Falls. Just his aunt and grandma went with us. The aunt drove again, but I didn’t get as sick this time. There’s one neat spot on the bridge before the border check that’s classified as “no mans land”-I didn’t get a picture though. I didn’t expect the falls to be so close to civilization (Off topic-do you ever hear/see words that instantly remind you of something else?). The falls are separated into two parts–the Canadian and American sides. Did you know that the falls froze once and people were able to walk over it? Or that 15 people have survived going over the falls? It’s a tad bit funny seeing things in English/French instead of English/Spanish.
From the Niagara Gazette:
Much of what members of the Spickler family knew about Niagara Falls was based on what they saw on television or in movies.
On Thursday, the family of four from Rockford, Ill., got a chance to get an up-close look at the Falls as part of a one-day, whirlwind sightseeing adventure that included plans for a trip on the Maid of the Mist and a visit to the Cave of the Winds.
“Niagara Falls sounded like one of those places you should see at least once — like the Grand Canyon,” said Linda Spickler, who was joined on the trip by her husband, Mike, their daughter, Stephanie and their son, Alec.
I first heard about this video on the Niagara Falls Blog - Travel and Tourism News…
Apparently, Dean Sullivan had a camera attached to him as he rappelled down from the Skylon Tower. Someone has posted a video of this on YouTube. The visual presentation isn’t anything spectacular, but it’s great hearing the audio!
