Our first visit to Buffalo, NY - Part 1

I thought I'd share a bit more about our first trip to Buffalo.  So, we had already heard from the Lord that He wanted us to go, but we had still never been there!  Needless to say, we were very anxious to actually see the city we would be calling home.  We got to go in July, which is probably the best time to see Buffalo for the first time - it's warm and beautiful!  The first thing we did after getting off the plane was experience authentic Buffalo wings at the Anchor Bar, home of the original.


The next day was pretty much a whirlwind of seeing as much of the city as we could.  
It started off with a Buffalo staple - breakfast at Tim Horton's.


Tim Horton's is a restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and there are more of those in this city than there are Starbucks!  Literally one on every corner.  Here is my first meal there:
I was told that Tim Horton's coffee would change my life.  Not sure about that, but it was good coffee.  Wes had some biscuit or something - he said it was very good, but it wasn't nearly as cute as this doughnut, so no picture of his!

As I mentioned in the previous post, we then had the opportunity to see Niagara Falls. Breathtaking! (more pics of this in previous post)


Next we got to go to the harbor of Lake Erie, which was beautiful.  We had lunch at a restaurant right on the harbor and sat outside.  It was just perfect.


Do we sense a theme here already?  Lots of food!  I have been told by a few Buffalonians that all you do there is eat.  Well, I believe it.  And we better go ahead and join a gym when we get there!  More about our trip to be continued in Part 2...
