Sand Sculptures

Image
  Every year, in mid July, I take a day trip to Yarmouth, Ma where I go on the hunt for all the sand sculptures. The first stop is at the visitors rest area on route 6. This is where I pick up the map for the locations of all the sculptures and there is always a sand sculpture there to great you.  This year my daughter and I started at 9am, we went to Wareham and joined with my sister and her daughter and off we went for a girls day road trip. Always a good time for everyone. we had the car loaded with snacks and drinks so we were prepared for a long day.  These are a few of the best that we found.   found at pancake house found at Bass River golf course Found at Dennis Yarmouth high school on the baseball field The last one was found outside the Hearth and Kettle restaurant, so we stopped there for lunch a little after 1:00. We have stopped here before and always find the food to be good, The other concept that we like is the restaurant serves breakfast all day. We left the restaurant

Alexandria Bay, New York

  I found a beautiful waterfront town in upstate New York. If you enjoy picturesque water towns then Alexandria Bay is for you.  If you live in southern Massachusetts like I do, be prepared for a long drive to get there. The ride is about 6 hours but the town is beautiful. I stayed at the Edgewood resort which was located on the water. I sat on my balcony and watched all the boats go by. The hotel had an outdoor swimming pool, a playground for smaller children, a bar and a delicious restaurant. One night I was there, the restaurant had a prime rib buffet for dinner. I love a good buffet!  There was prime rib, chicken, meatballs, steak tips in gravy, noodles, lasagna, assorted veggies, clam chowder, a salad bar and then there was a dessert bar. Oh so good and all for $35 per person. Here are the prices for the rooms:                              These are prices for the months of May and June The prices for July and August are a little higher End of the season prices in September and Oc
