Buffalo, New York

 The Buffalo Bills (football team) has been doing really well this year so Steve Doxey had the idea to go to a Bills game.  We just had a quick weekend to to explore and have fun but we had such a great time!  I love my hometown and I love sharing it with others.

Got off the airplane and headed straight for South Buffalo for some awesome pizza and wings!

Imperial pizza with Buffalo wings and blue cheese dressing...mmmm

At the football game.  Steve and I got so many compliments on our awesome hats.  Hyrum and Katrina are no fun!

Walking around the tailgate area before the game...so much Bills love!



We were pretty wet and cold before the game even got started, thank goodness they sold hot cocoa at the game!

The Bills verses the Jets...we WON!!!!

It started snowing during the 4th quarter...which was better than rain.  But man I was freezing!!

Niagara Falls from the American side

We toured Niagara Parks Power Station in Canada that closed down a few years ago.  It was a pretty cool museum but the best part was the tunnel you can walk along that spits you out right at the base of Horseshoe Falls, it was a great view from there.

Getting ready to head through the tunnel

I would definitely recommend this place, it was so cool and you learned a lot about how they create electricity using the Falls

We drove to visit the exact spot President McKinley was shot in 1901.  Steve acted the scene out for us 😆

We walked around the beautiful Forest Lawn Cemetery, so many beautiful headstones here.

Beautiful sculpture in the cemetery

Had to get my beef on week sandwich!

Love me some good Tim Horton donuts!

Beautiful city council chambers inside City Hall

City Hall is such a unique and wonderful building

A group is recreating a traditional barge that would have been used on the Erie Canal.  They hope to have it ready to launch in 2023.

Josh Allen (the Bills quarterback) jumping over the Christmas tree...this city sure loves it's football team!

Hyrum flirting with "shark girl" at Canalside

We stopped at Ted's hotdogs on our way to the airport.  It was so much fun visiting Buffalo and sharing so many fun places with my family...I'll be back!
