MEGA Magnet Monday!!!

Playing a bit of catch up this week, but I brought along a bonus magnet to make up for it.

The first is from Buffalo:


There's a lot going on here. First of all, it's false advertising. The googly eyed buffalo states that there's 'So much to see in..." Buffalo New York. It couldn't be further from the truth. Downtown Buffalo looked like a ghost town; one that maybe had it's heyday about 10 years ago...but I was told that it looked the same way, by our Resident Director, when she was there over 30 years prior. Second of all, Mr Buffalo is wearing a Niagara Falls hat (it's a little hard to see in the pic), which is about 20-30min outside of Buffalo. Maybe his googly eyes are there for sarcastic effect: 'pthh yeah, there's SO much to see in Buffalo' *tilt magnet to make his eyes roll*


This next one was an unplanned purchase and I have to preface it by saying that I swear I didn't alter the colors in the photo.


WOW! Who knew that Niagara Falls looked like ground beef. And check out that creepy sun/moon (I have no idea which it is, the sky is this weird brownish color, so the time of day is a toss up). Are those clouds around it or has it sprouted ghoul-like arms??

This last week we were in Indianapolis. There were a lot of great...er bad magnets to choose from. Unfortunately the best of the worst said Indiana instead of Indianapolis. My personal favorite was the "Cow tipping in Indiana" one. I ended up having to settle for this gem:



This week we're in Winnipeg. Not a very touristy city so Im hoping that the airport won't let me down on travel day next Monday.
