CANADA, Our Friendly Neighbours to the North…
**IMPORTANT**
If you are planning to travel to Canada while in the Buffalo area, adults will need a passport or an enhanced drivers’ license to cross the border. Children will need proof of citizenship, i.e.- birth certificate. Check out http://www.dhs.gov/xtrvlsec/crossingborders/ for more information on travel documentation.
Most people enjoy viewing Niagara Falls from the Canadian Side… Trips to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario (~35 minute drive) or Toronto, Ontario (~2 hour drive) are options as well!

Kristen and Kenny’s TOP 5 things to do in the area…
1) Elmwood Village: our home for the past 5 years… this cute neighborhood in Buffalo is filled with great locally owned shops, bakeries, restaurants, and coffee shops!
2) Allen St. Hardware: the site of our first date, grab a glass of wine or a Panini there if you have a minute! (Oh yeah, it is a bar/restaurant, not a hardware store!)
3) Buffalo & Erie County Historical Society: the museum is great… but, the gorgeous Portico out back is the best part!
4) Delaware Park: take a walk (or run) around “the loop” and peek in on the buffalo at the Zoo—or enjoy some time at Hoyt Lake, the Rose Garden, & Shakespeare Hill.
5) Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON: this beautiful, quaint town in Southern Ontario is only a short ride away and is a great way to spend the day or an overnight wandering the town, tasting wine, and eating good food! During the summer, the town is overflowing with gorgeous flowers! Be sure to taste some Ice Wine while you are there! (E-mail us if you are thinking of going for an overnight and want some suggestions!)

Not a SEACRET anymore!
Last weekend, a few of my friends and I had some pre-wedding fun and games in Ocean City, Maryland... Beach by day and "SEACRETS" by night! For those of you who have yet to experience SEACRETS night club in Ocean City-- you are missing out on some craziness and lots of fun!! A band named "Kristen and the Noise" was the weekend headliner-- could not have been more perfect!! Despite the fact that the sun didn't come out until we were packing up to leave, we had a great weekend... and only wish that it lasted a few extra days!!
I am so psyched that Kim, Lara and Colleen made the trip to Maryland to play!! Stay tuned because Kenny's weekend of fun with his friends is coming up next weekend... :)
