No wifi??

Days 23, 24, and 25

What happens when you visit your 88 year old grandfather? You don't have internet for two nights! My grandpa does not own a computer so of course he doesn't have internet for us to use. I'm going to have to backtrack a little and catch everyone up! 

On day 23 of our trip we left Linda's house and headed for North Canton, Ohio. First, below are a few more pictures from our time with Linda and the other ladies from Capitaland Chorus. 

Dinner with everyone 

After saying goodbye to Linda our first stop was Niagara Falls, New York. We found a parking garage to park in and we walked about 5-10 minutes to Niagara Falls State Park. We first saw Lake Erie which is the water that feeds the falls. The rapids were so fast and strong! You do not want to fall in it! 

Niagara Falls. Before you tell me that the Canadian side is prettier let me remind you that we saw that side 2 years ago on our last epic adventure. I do agree that they are prettier but I'm glad we saw this side of them. 

When you offer to take a picture make sure to get the landmark you came to see in the background. The lady was very kind to offer to take our picture but you can't see Niagara Falls! 

Niagara Falls round 2 with this chicka! 

The sun was so bright!! 

After seeing Niagara Falls we headed for North Canton, Ohio. Look how big the Pennsylvania sign is!! 

After getting stuck in traffic we finally made it to Ohio. The only restaurant open at 9:00 at night was John's Bar. This ended up being a GREAT experience. Our waitress was so much fun! Her name was Anna (not pronounced like the Disney princess) and it was so much fun to talk with her about our trip! A big shout out to Anna from North Canton, Ohio!! 

After a restful evening we had a full day ahead of us in Ohio. My grandpa had the entire day planned. We started out by going to the Barbershop to get grandpa's hair cut. After that we headed to Heggies to get some amazing chocolates! There may be 8 pounds of chocolate in the back of our car... or more. After chocolate we headed for Amish country. It was so fascinating! We stopped and picked up some Shear's potato chips at the bulk store. Then came an interesting experience. We drove to an Amish farm for some brown eggs. You literally see a "sign" and go up to the house. Eli was waiting inside and we asked for 2 dozen eggs. His daughter got the eggs for us, we paid him, and then we went back to our car. We kept asking grandpa, "so, we just go up to the door and ask for eggs?" We were really surprised! After eggs we had to go to a different bulk store for some more items. Then, it was finally time for lunch/dinner!! We went to the Der Dutchman. They have very delicious food!! We were stuffed at the end of lunch. 

There was this amazing peanut butter spread for bread. My grandpa had never tried it before. Let me tell you, he loved it! 

This was the amazing view from the restaurant. 

After lunch we went to my Great-Aunt Helen's home. She is 93 years young. I love seeing this woman! 

210 years of experience in one photo! 

Thanks Celeste for the wonderful picture! 

After seeing Aunt Helen we needed to get some dessert from Milk and Honey! This is a must do every time I'm in North Canton! 

I'll have my usual! Rocky Mountain Sundae :) 

We had a relaxing evening on the swing listening to stories from grandpa. We even saw skunks walking around the backyard. I didn't panic though... I just waited for them to walk away while I didn't move or breath. After they were a safe distance away I high tailed it inside. 

Pink clouds! 

Today we ate breakfast with grandpa and then headed for our final destination. I'm not going to tell you what state we are in tonight in case we do a postcard challenge from here tomorrow! On our way though we stopped and saw Celeste's cousin in Columbus, OH. We had a great pizza lunch with him. We then stopped near Cincinnati to see my cousin Chris! I was so glad to see him for like 10 minutes!! Better than nothing. His wife just had triplets about a month ago. All are doing well. I love that we got to see family. 

The wifi at our current hotel is not the best so I'm off to bed. We have a busy day planned tomorrow
