Starting planning a little early but I'm considering a trip to Niagara Falls for a 25th anniversary trip (Sep 07). It will be the first major trip since my diagnosis. Initial websearches suggest I should stay on the Canadian side. I'm looking for suggestions for restaurants mostly but would welcome tips on hotels, side trips etc.

Our tenative plan is to take about a week and drive up through central PA and NY, spend two nights at Niagara Falls and then drive back to Virginia on a more westerly loop. Suggestions for side trips, hotels and restaurants along the way would also be helpful. I've found railroad museums and sports halls-of-fame for me but I dont' think my wife would see those as "romantic" enough for an anniversary trip. :lol:

If you make a side trip through Lancaster County PA there's a really cool old railroad called Strasburg railroad. They still have an old steam engine running that you can take a ride on. It's actually very romantic riding the train. I think they're still open in September. Open Original Shared Link

I second Angie's suggestion about the Strasberg Railroad. It's great--we've taken the trip several times, always in the open car. (Of course, we are always there in the warmer months)

Hi,

The Keg Steakhouse is a chain in Canada and they are very accomadating to Celiac's. There is a Keg that is on the 13th floor of the Raddison ( I think !!). They offer fallsview tables, which are amazing. We took my daughter there last summer and they were wonderful.

Hope this helps.

Parks with waterfalls seem to be a theme along with some art museums.

Celiac-friendly dining suggestions in any of those locations would be appreciated.

Thank you for the info.

Congratulations on your anniversary.

I re-read my original post and realize that in trying to say Sep 2007 I implied the actual date was Sep 7. It is later in the month so other suggestions aren't too late.

juliela - Thanks again. We missed some of those due to seasonal hours but pizza at Slice of Napa was great. We also hit Bonefish in Eastview Mall.

I just went to slice of napa a couple weeks ago! Wasn't it delicious? there was some kind of town fair going on, so we sat on the front porch, had pizza, wings and people watched. a nice little town I think.

Hope your trip went well and you got to enjoy some good food!

Julie

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
