This past weekend, we traveled to Western Pennsylvania along Interstate 80. After a long road trip from New Jersey, we stopped in Hermitage, PA and picked some pears and pumpkins.
While in Hermitage, we stopped at Kraynak's Flower Boutique.
Don’t let the name fool you--it’s filled with all kinds of cool toys
and stuff. There's all kinds of retro games, toys, and model trains. It is also home of Santa's Christmasland, which opens in just a few days.
Heading west, we stopped at Daffin’s in Sharon, PA. The
Chocolate Kingdom is a realm that is inhabited by a 400-pound chocolate turtle,
a 125-pound chocolate reindeer and 75-pound chocolate frog. There are also chocolate
castles, a train, a village, and a Ferris wheel which brings this whimsical
land to life.
After traveling almost the entire width of Pennsylvania (310 miles), we might as well visit Ohio.
On the Penn-Ohio border, we stopped at the Penn Ohio Lottery
and Deli. Most of the store is in Pennsylvania, but a corner of the store is
located in Ohio.
A little further in Ohio, we had brunch at the Brookfield
Family Diner.
