August 20th

Due to the long travel schedule we won�t be in any rush to leave the hotel early this time. Instead we�ll be having lunch at 11:30 from 12:30 at the hotel and then board the buses for our trip to Niagara Falls.

We�ll be visiting the falls and boarding the �Maid of the Mist� for a boat tour along the river and near the falls... ponchos provided! Additionally, you�ll have a ticket to access the trolley to shuttle you around the park in small groups and tour the additional sights at your leisure.

There is a casino and several other restaurants to choose from for your dinner meal on site. The falls are then lit up at night at approximately 7:30 PM and make for a great day seeing one of nations national wonders! We�ll board our buses at 8:30 for the ride back to the hotel and enjoy some time with friends in the hospitality room (about a 20 minute ride).

Cost: $40.00 per person, with lunch and transportation tour tickets included!

August 21st

We�ll be boarding the buses at the hotel at 9:30 and going for a brief 5 minute ride to the Buffalo and Erie County Naval Park and Military Museum. You�ll tour the exhibits on your own or in small groups as friends.

We�ll then depart the museum for Tim and Josette McMutree�s House for a good old Buffalo Style BBQ. Tim has a great day planned for us and the swimming pool is ready as well as stocked fishing pond for kids young and old! We may even engage in a little shooting competition on Tim�s �backyard range�. Buses will be departing on a rotating schedule after 4PM and you can party into the night or head home for a good night rest or continue the festivities back in the hospitality room! Food is being catered by Dinosaur BBQ and is finger licking good! Of course we�ll have some cold beer on tap for this one...

Cost: $40.00 per person, with admission to the Naval Park, transportation and lunch included!
