Niagara Falls/Lake Erie - Day 4 - June 14, 2011

We woke up and quickly got ready. We wanted to try Tim Horton’s – a donut shop we thought was Canada’s version of Dunkin Donuts (although we did see a couple after we were back in the U.S. in NY). Today we were determined to find some area along Lake Erie that was interesting. We crossed the border back to the United States and headed toward the town of Erie, PA. We drove along the coast of Lake Erie, again hoping to find some quaint little towns or picturesque place along the water for lunch, but again no luck. At least I knew when we got to Erie, I had two campgrounds to check out that were supposed to be on the water.

Well, we finally lucked out!! We found Sara’s Campground, which at first we didn’t think had the water view we had hoped for, but then found out they had another part across the street that was lakefront sites. It was mostly an RV park, but there was a section right along the beach where you could camp. Sandy fit in perfectly! We found a nice spot to pull her right up on the beach. We took a quick trip to a sub shop in downtown Erie and then came back to the site to chill out! As you can see we had lakefront dining… finally! :) Katelyn enjoyed climbing out on the rocks, while Doug and I sat and enjoyed not driving!

 

After chilling for a while, we started a fire and for the first time on this trip, had s’mores! I must say having s’mores with the gigantic marshmallows are very messy, but oh, so delicious! We enjoyed the fire, then turned in for the night, with the sounds of the small waves on Lake Erie lulling us to sleep.
