It was a cool, June morning, I had my bags packed and ready to go, and just like that I was on the road to Niagara Falls!

C, then to Pittsburgh, PA, then to Niagara, and then back to our lodging,” stated my mom. “Or,” my dad said, “We can go St. Louis, then go on the road trip.” We couldn’t really

That’s why we call her a mother. My mother has been an extraordinary influence on my life and always will be.
