We were having a great breakfast at a table next to the windows on a sunny Sunday morning at the Refectory, and during breakfast it started snowing - with the sun still out and no wind - and the flakes were the biggest, slowest falling flakes we'd ever seen. It almost looked fake, like out of a movie. After breakfast we wandered in the snow over to the railing and Table Rock. Pure magic - awe inspiring. It's always been one of our favorite memories.Lake Effecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02696631076860883209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-45851037262643971172014-07-22T07:47:00.429-04:002014-07-22T07:47:00.429-04:00Love the Then and Now shot of the Refectory restau...Love the Then and Now shot of the Refectory restaurant. I ate there with my family in 1953-54. I was about 7 years old--and still remember sitting at the table on the terrace overlooking the Falls. Since the 1950's, I have gone to the Falls several times with my family and we always have a meal at the same restaurant--whatever the current name!1946bornnoreply@blogger.com
