Boldt Castle

I am linking up with Linses Cotton's Scenic Weekend

Over the years hubby, son and I have been on many roads trips. On this trip I am taking you to the New York-Canada border. One of the tours we took was a boat ride and walking tour thru the Boldt Castle. The Boldt Castle is located in the Alexandria Bay located in the famous 1,000 Islands.

On the St Lawrence River a boat took us to the Boldt Castle, for an inside tour and a walk around the grounds.

The Boldt Castle was built in 1900's by millionaire hotel magnate George C. Boldt. It was a tribute to his wife Louise who passed away before it was finished.

The Arched entry to the Bold Castle.

This stained glass dome overlooks the marble staircase. Some of the later work was completed by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority. They have spent millions in repairing and rebuilding portions of the castle and grounds.

Above scenes from our boat ride to the Boldt, the Boldt Entry Arch, Boldt Yacht house, Ospreys on tower, 2 nations. What a huge yacht house!

The USA-Canada official border lays directly on the river bed underneath this bridge. The bridge with the Canadian and US flags is connecting two small islands.

I hope you enjoyed my travel post. I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comments. Thanks for stopping by to see my post and thanks to Linses Cotton for hosting Scenic Weekends.

Niagara Falls and Scenic Sunday

Niagara Falls is a big attraction in New York and Canada. My header photo show a rainbow over the falls on the American side looking over at the Canadian side. The view of the falls looks different from each side. So when my family took a trip we stayed a night on the American side and a night on the Canadian side of the falls. On the American side we took the boat ride to the falls and we also went down the steps on the side on the falls.

This photo reminds me of the smurfs. Do you remember that cartoon? Each person is given a blue plastic rain poncho to put on, you can really be drenched from the mist off the falls.

The photo was taken on the Canadian looking back over at the American side. You can see a viewing tower that was built on the American side.
