Heading Out Of Dodge



Today marks the highlight of the summer over at the Daily Dandy headquarters, as we embark on our yearly tradition of a glorious week in York Beach, Maine. Since I don't know how to set up that automatic post robot thingie, I will be out of the bloggersphere starting today, Aug 7, 2009 and will return Monday, August 17th.

I cannot tell you how much we love this place. It is a kid's dream land. Beach, arcade, mini-golf, amusement park, zoo, shopping, and of course, The Goldenrod, all within 500 feet of each other.

The Goldenrod is the place in the picture above, where they make old fashioned salt water taffy in the windows for all to see. You can even smell the molasses as you walk by. They make chocolates and candy and serve ice cream at an old fashioned, fountian style counter. The Goldenrod is also a quaint little luncheonette, where breakfast, lunch and dinner is served. My son is OBSESSED with the Goldenrod. He would eat all three squares there, if I let him. The G-Rod is our every morning breakfast destination and we negotiate the other meals at other places throught our wonderful week.

And I am soooo ready to get the heck outta Dodge! Thank goodness for vacations!!!
Peace and have a great week bloggers!

Daily Dandy OUT!

Places like the Goldenrod are fantastic. Shops like those are long, but thanks to beach towns, some are still around. And a week in a beach town in Maine - super!

I used to like going to Biddeford Pool in the summer, and watch satellites flying over because the sky was so clear.

Enjoy your vacation. Don't worry, I won't write anything interesting while you're gone, so you won't miss anything over there. :-)

Well, I guess that's a valid excuse. My sister used to live in Maine and said it's like the boondocks in certain places... she had to get dial-up, for an example...
Have a good time!

Hope you're having fun! York Beach is about 1 hour south of where I am...don't get there that often. Usually riding thru in the winter when everything is boarded up, for some reason!
Enjoy the good weather!

MommaKiss said...

Enjoy the taffy - esp pulling it out of kid's hair :p

Family vacations Rock! Usually minus the "family" part, though, right?
