Today's adventures

This morning, we went to Lockport. There we saw the most incredible engineering feat of its time, the "Flight of Five" locks that raise and lower the Erie Canal allowing large boats to travel up river an elevation that changes 565 feet. Absolutely amazing! We also wandered through a tunnel that was made at the same time to provide hydro power to at least two factories by the canal.



Then we had lunch at a great little diner in town. After that, we stopped by the Lake Effect ice cream scoop shop to pick up a couple pints of creamy goodness. Bennett slept the whole way home and we left him snoozing in the car when we got home. We had a great time chatting on the front lawn waiting for him to wake.



For dinner tonight, we tried out a new to us place in Williamsville called The Eagle House. Delicious! But before and after our meal we spent some time at Island Park. Everyone had fun!!
