Charlotte's First Trip To Ohio

After spending three days at home, Chris, Charlotte and I continue on our third leg of 12 states in 30 days. After work on Wednesday (8/30) we started off to Chris's Dads house in Warren, Ohio. Charlotte was a great traveler again and we would have it in normal time except for the 45 minute traffic delay in Buffalo, NY. Needless to say, pulled into the driveway at 1:30am.

On Thursday, we hung out with Chris's Dad and made our traditional trip to the Hot Dog Shoppe. If you ever pass through Warren, you need to set aside time to go to this restaurant. It's nothing fancy, but it has, by far, the best dogs, fries and shakes I have ever had. And you can't beat the price... .77 cents for a dog. Goes to show how much profit they are making at baseball parks across the country.

On Friday, it was off to The Canfield Fair in Canfield, Ohio. I have not gone to a fair in over 25 years, however, after going to this fair, Chris and I decided that we are going to start going to more of them next summer. The fair was cool...Lots of animals, shows, tractors and food.

On Saturday, Chris went out to Lunch with her friends Jeri and Mary, while Charlotte and I spent the afternoon with Granpa watching college football. College football has never really interest me, but after visiting Ohio for the last 5 years, I think I'm turning into a Ohio State Buckeyes fan. Saturday night, we went to Chris's sister Amy's house for dinner.

On Sunday, we went to Amy's house again for a picnic where Charlotte met her Aunt Joanne and Uncle Jim for the 1st time. On Monday it was back on the road again for our trip home.

So there you have it, 12 states and over 3,500 miles since the beginning of August. 3 States to get to Maine, 6 States to get to Myrtle Beach, 2 states to get to Ohio and finally New York. Needless to say, we are a little sick of driving, so we will be hanging around home for the next month. Our Next trip is our annual foliage trip to Lake Placid in early October.
