This morning we took the bikes (of course), found a place for breakfast and then rode around Rome a bit. Found a really neat looking church but didn't take pics :-(. Visited Fort Stanwix - really amazing how the fort was built. The town of Rome basically knocked down several blocks of buildings to unearth and rebuild the fort that was instumental in a number of wars including the war for independence. Again - I have learned more about American history than I ever did in school!
After a tour of the fort, we headed back to Sylvan Beach. This was the last weekend it was open and it perfect weatherwise - but cool. We found the game place and played skeet ball, slot machines, the quarter slid machine amount others. Lots of fun. Great sunset again. It was like being back at the Loudonville fair with the rides etc.
The music was all from the 50's and 60's - brought back many memories! One of the stand sold fried dough as well as fried waffles (complete with powered sugar - I was totally sucked in!
