We had a BLAST in Buffalo and the city treated us incredibly well. From a warm welcome, to three shows, to an incredible send-off: I sure did love my time in Buffalo. I figured: no better way to share the whole trip with you than in a photo blog!

Started off the trip by jumping on a tiny airplane:

We knew we had to do two things immediately: get some WINGS and go see Niagara Falls. Both were awe-inspiring for different reasons. The BBQ wings at Gabriel’s Gate were the best wings I have ever had in my life. NO KIDDING.

Niagara Falls is even more beautiful in person than you have seen on TV. Nobody prepared me for the sound. You have to hear it – it’s a stunning showcase of the power of nature.

Next day, it was on to the show! We did hits live from Buffalo throughout Sunday’s ITKWD. Robert Geist from Uncle Sam’s Army Navy Outfitters gave us a live demonstration of an MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) used in the military.

On Monday, Memorial Day, I got to be on air again! I did live hits from the Buffalo & Erie County Military & Naval Park. I got to make friends with John, Jess, Bob, and Chief. These guys are docents at the museum and they are incredible wealths of knowledge. Please check out their website and volunteer!

Also, we had the opportunity to thank our soldiers for their service. Boy, it makes me happy to honor them. I am right in my element since I grew up in an Army family, but these folks deserve as much praise and support as we can muster. Thank you for sharing your photos throughout the month with all of us. I loved seeing every single one. Want to support an awesome Veteran’s group? Please search in your area and support! Please check out Flatline Fighters too, they rock!

Tuesday, we had an incredible tour of Buffalo! HUGE thanks to Robert G and Chris Hawley for the amazing day in Buffalo:

We went to City Hall:

City Hall is also incredibly beautiful on the inside:

They accidentally left me alone with a gavel too long…

Then we went to the roof and WHAT A VIEW!

Then Wednesday came!!! Live audience time! We got the stage set…

Get your make up done and hair whipped up better than it has EVER been, thanks to the one-and-ONLY Lia!!! I just love her

Quick, super-excited selfie with the audience:

Put on your Army PT shirt (represent), slap on your 4-inch heels, Maverick jacket, climb a Destroyer and get this show started!!

The best part of every trip? YOU. Getting to meet you in person is the highlight of every QVC excursion. It is a privilege, every single day, to get to know you. Thank you for making this one a BLAST. Let’s do it again SOON!
