Tennis legend Serena Williams is making good on her heartfelt promise to take her daughter, Olympia, on an unforgettable trip to visit the Seven Wonders of the World.

Inside Serena Williams' Seven Wonders journey
The 23-time Grand Slam winner shared glimpses into the first stop on the trip on Instagram on Monday, August 4, offering a behind-the-scenes look at her off-the-court life with her family.
"A year ago I told @olympiaohanian that we would start an epic girls trip that would include the 7 wonders of the world, and there are alot of them! Natural wonders. Man made wonders. Ancient wonders. So we are going to do them all. We started with #NiagaraFalls … where to next," Williams captioned the post, alongside a carousel of stunning scenic photos.
In one picture, the 43-year-old retired tennis pro stood beside Olympia, and her youngest daughter, Adira River, 2 - whom she shares with her husband Alexis Ohanian - in matching red rain ponchos during a Niagara city cruise.
Another photo showed off a vibrant rainbow arc across the misty backdrop of the gorgeous falls.
Niagara Falls is not an official member of the iconic Seven Wonders of the Worlds, although it is a natural wonder and is sometimes referred to as the unofficial Eighth Wonder of the World.
