Rainbow Bridge to Canada & downtown

Instead of driving to Canada today, we decided to put on our walking shoes and trek across the Rainbow Bridge. The weather was perfect, the views were stunning, and there were no crowds—until we tried to get into Canada. Luckily, the line wasn't very long, and we were in within 15 minutes!

Our reservation for Journey Behind the Falls wasn’t until later, so we had some time to kill. First stop? Lunch. And where do you think we went? Ruby Tuesdays, of course! Because nothing screams "Canadian adventure" like American chain dining. Unfortunately, we both deleted our Ruby deals from our emails, assuming we'd left that delight behind. And the real kicker? No smashburger on the menu!

Time for some exploration! This place looks like a miniature version of Pigeon Forge in Tennessee! There wasn't any rain in the forecast, but surprise, the weather forecasters here are just as reliable as they are back home! To dodge the surprise shower, we jumped on a ride called “Carnaval Chaos!” Shooting clowns never felt so therapeutic—Don giggled like a schoolboy the entire time!

And who could forget the “Whacky Balloon Man”? While setting up for a photo op, Don started mimicking the balloon man’s wild dance moves when a lady came over asking if he was okay! Just kidding—she actually thought Don was a local and asked for directions! 😂🤣😂Read more
