It was cheaper to get the family together by flying one from ILL and driving the rest, so we met in Buffalo for the weekend. It was supposed to be rain/snow all weekend here but the weather is cooperating much more nicely than that and we hit the Canadian side of the Falls today.

Off now for some real honest to goodness Buffalo wings!
