If you\u2019re heading to Central Florida and staying at the Fantasy World <u><a href=\"https:\/\/webdirectms.com\/fantasy\/amenities\/\">resort in Kissimmee Florida<\/a><\/u>, there are plenty of great stops along the way if you\u2019re traveling along I-77. If you\u2019re spreading out your drive over a couple of days, you can easily add some sightseeing to break up the long stretches of driving. This gives everyone a chance to stretch their legs and have some fun. Whether it\u2019s a shorter pit stop or a longer exploration, there are plenty of fascinating things to see and do along I-77.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re coming through Ohio, you\u2019ll be spending some time amid the mountains. Appalachia is full of beautiful views, so enjoy the scenery at various stops along the interstate or spend some time in one of the state parks. For a visit to an unusual museum, take Exit 83 in Dover, Ohio, to see the Warther Museum of woodcarving. They have some spectacular wood carvings, including locomotive replicas.<\/p>\n<p>West Virginia has no shortage of beautiful scenery, either, but they also have some impressive state buildings, museums and gardens that are all free. Exit 99 in Charleston, WV, will take you to the West Virginia State Capitol Building, which is an awe-inspiring piece of architecture. With its gold dome, colonnaded facade, and marble interior, it\u2019s hard not to be impressed. Located along the Kanawha River, the Capitol Building also features some beautiful gardens that you can explore. Another free option in Charleston is the West Virginia State Museum.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019re into North Carolina, you might want to stop by Mt. Airy off Exit 81. While kids may not understand the appeal, parents might appreciate a visit to what is affectionately known as Mayberry. Andy Griffith grew up in Mt. Airy and the town had an influence on his eponymous show. You\u2019ll soon find yourself whistling the theme tune as you wander the picturesque streets.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, before you move onto I-95, you\u2019ll pass through Columbia, SC. As well as being a charming southern city, they also have some tasty BBQ. Maurice\u2019s, off Exit 18, has plenty of fans. Just a little south of Columbia, you\u2019ll be turning onto I-95 and then I-4 to get to the Fantasy World <u><a href=\"https:\/\/webdirectms.com\/fantasy\/location\/\">resort in Kissimmee Florida<\/a><\/u>. Check out <u><a href=\"https:\/\/webdirectms.com\/fantasy\/what-to-see-and-do-along-i-95-on-the-way-to-orlando\/\">last month\u2019s blog<\/a><\/u> for more highlights of what to see and do as you head along I-95. Soon enough, you\u2019ll be at Fantasy World, ready for a whole new series of fun adventures and sightseeing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Part of the fun of a summer vacation is the road trip to your destination.
