We went tent-camping at Evangola State Park with our two year old son and newborn daughter. For as long as I've lived in Buffalo, and for as much time as I spend outdoors, I hardly ever get to see Lake Erie. Seeing sand is even rarer, so we were excited to spend the weekend here. Unfortunately, we were fairly disappointed. The beach was very smelly and littered with garbage. My hunt for a good nearby beach continues...
