3 E's and Phanh Travels: July 2015

Road to Niagara Part 9!

On the last day of July 2015 we set out for Niagara Falls. This is part 9 of the trip.

Guess if I was to judge I'd the say the IN state fair was one of the best fairs I've been to. But they're all unique. Stayed 4-5 hours and decided to head east. Quick stop before parking for the night.

A fitting end for the trip! Started with the current capitol and ended with another. Stayed at Timber Trails that night. Alot of locals but was a great also recommend if in the area. A rough gist of the trip. It was a great one. I would like to note that we didn't travel any toll roads.

And made it in under 10. Thanks for reading! Safe travels and smooth roads!

Road to Niagara Part 8!

On the last day of July 2015 we set out for Niagara Falls. This is part 8 of the trip.

Stayed in the state fair parking lot that night. It is paid parking so expect to leave early the next morning. Got a knock on the door by the highway patrol. Next day was the state capitol and downtown area. Parked at the Cosi the only place we could find for the RV.

Museum in the basement..

Interesting place for the kiddos if you have the time and money!

Interesting area! Headed to Indiana for their state fair after Columbus.

Got to Indianapolis to late and beat to go to the fair that evening. Stayed at the KOA Indianapolis that night. No complaints.. great pool. The next day was the IN state fair.

Road to Niagara Part 7!

On the last day of July 2015 we set out for Niagara Falls. This is part 7 of the trip.

After attraction #1 went to KOA Niagara Falls NY.. a bit of rain that night! Could be me but the NY KOA folks didn't seem as friendly, maybe too much time in Canada. Battened down the hatches the roads are rough in NY.

Next day attraction #2.. the aquarium!

Attraction #3.. Discovery Center! Interesting but does give you the history of the falls and the area.

Attraction #4.. Cave of the Winds! This was fun!

Attraction #5 was the Niagara adventure theatre. No pics was interesting, think the movie was around 60 minutes. Started to head south after the attractions we're not much into shopping. Took Highway 5 south.. Buffalo NY..

Alot of closed plants along the route... you could tell how prosperous the area once was. Sad state of affairs. Stopped at a hamburger joint in Derby NY. Recommend it!

Quick stop for a break.

Stayed at a NY state park that night. Lake Erie in the background. Besides a skunk that camped out under the RV great night!

Hit the road the next day to Columbus OH and the OH state fair.

Road to Niagara Part 6!

On the last day of July 2015 we set out for Niagara Falls. This is part 6 of the trip.

Niagara Falls US side! Parked at the aquarium and walked to the falls. The only place we could find to park the RV. We bought the Discovery Pass which gives you five attractions at a reduced price. A couple of the attractions were ehhh but overall it was a good deal. But took a trip to the falls first!
