Review: Motel 6 on Whitehall Road, Annapolis, Maryland is fantastic. Room is beautiful, clean, bedding is fluffy and fresh, pillows are some of the finest I've seen in a motel. WIFI is free. Free complimentary apple, orange juices and hot coffee 24/7. Free newspaper. The gal at the front desk was helpful and friendly, gave us a printout with directions to a restaurant she recommended. Complimentary Annapolis maps. On a scale of one to ten. This one is a ten!

The teddy peeking on the right is made of hay
So many kinds of fur to choose from
Learning about the history of VTB
and about how teddy bears originated
Teddy bears and sewing... right in my element! I wanted
to jump in and help make some bears!
We learned that the bears are stuffed with recycled plastic which
is turned into super soft fluff!
Some of their cute outfits
Nurse Bear
More cute outfits
Bear-grams are shipped all over. The box is so cute and
creative too. (I received one several years ago, they are awesome!)
Vermont Teddys have a lifetime, unconditional guarantee. Regardless of how
your teddy gets damaged, even if you only have the tag or an eyeball
left, they will replace it. If it is merely "injured", they will go to the
VTB hospital for surgery and be returned to you good as new.
A bear is having "surgery". They average about 100 repairs a month... for free!
The front of the desk has letters from children, thanking the "Doctor" for mending their teddy.
This soldier bear oversees the entire factory
Michael said he had plenty of bungee cords to take
this guy home on the roof.
Fun at the factory
*J-R's eatery 4601 US-7, Pittsford VT 05763
Michael was looking for a small local place that served
buckwheat pancakes... we came across this cute little place.
...served of course, with pure, local, Vermont maple syrup!
We bought a jug to take home too!
This part of the country is adorned with Old Glory everywhere you look!
The doggies asked if they could have some real maple syrup too!
The scenery and farmlands in Vermont are just beautiful
The old churches and clock towers are so common here.
I love the steeples and the "small town America" feeling!
I asked Michael if we could take this clock home with us. LOL!
287 Route 100, Weston, VT 0516
*Thursday, August 13th, 2015
Simply beautiful surroundings, wonderful amenities including a made to order breakfast. If you
ever have the chance, this is truly a fantastic escape. The owners and staff are absolutely wonderful!
Multi course meal with so many offerings. Michael had Lumberjack mush,
topped with 100% pure Vermont maple syrup, of course.
Followed by a dish of berries. They had many beverages to choose from and
waited on us as if in a regular restaurant, but with a homier feel.
We all had the Mexican omelet, but there were lots of other options. Our choice
of several kinds of freshly baked bread and our choice of salsa "heat". The
owner is the chef and he makes everything to order. All with a smile!
This is Duke (just like the Bush's Baked Beans dog). Michael said he
asked if we could sneak him some omelet. LOL This whole state
seemed to be doggy friendly!
Vermont Country Store, Weston, VT (opens 9am)
657 Main St., Weston, VT 05161 - (802) 824-3184
This is the original store, but if you can't make it out here,
you can order online.
Reeds candies were discontinued. The store bought the rights
to them and now they produce them. They specialize in items
that are virtually impossible to find, right down to an old fashioned
manual typwriter (electric one too). Fun place to shop!
Hoosick Tire, Hoosick, NY
We were badly in need a single tire replacement, as Michael
noticed that the front left was balding. Well, I literally prayed for
our safe travels til we found a place and somewhere that wouldn't
take hours and hours out of our trip. God answered that prayer
and then some! We happened upon this place on our regular route,
the guy had an exact match to our tires in stock and we didn't
even have to get out of the vehicle to have it changed! He had it
done in 10 minutes, including finding the tire in his stock! Turns
out he works his off time as a race car pit crew guy. No wonder
he was so fast! We wished we could have this guy around for
our next need of tires. Super cool experience!
EMILIE HUXLEY, (Utica, NY)
I was thrilled to get to spend some time with my dear friend
Emilie. We have known each other since Junior High and graduated
high school together. I hadn't seen her since then (32 years!) It was
nice to be able to introduce her to Michael, since they had been
aquainted on FB. Even if its a brief one, these "stop and smell the
roses" type visits are priceless. Tomorrow is not promised, take the
time to tell your friends and family that you love them, and take time
to visit them whenever possible, even if just for a hug.
*Nicky Doodles, Utica, NY
This is a fun place that Emilie recommended. Locally owned and
operated with all sorts of ice cream items and "hot dog joint" type
foods. Fun place with outside seating and yummy food.
The hot dogs and buns are locally made. Very tasty!
* Utica, NY to Buffalo, NY 199 miles *
*Frank and Teressa's Anchor Bar, Home of the original Buffalo Chicken Wings
1047 Main St, Buffalo, NY
This lovely "lady" greets you when you come in
I think she knows what a catch Michael is! LOL!
We orded a "bucket" of wings to share and we had enough
left over for a couple more meals. These were truly the best
we had ever had. We ordered medium heat and it was the
perfect flavor without a lot of burn. They do offer up to what
they refer to as "suicide" heat. I not only wasn't interested in that
kind of burn, I personally think the name is in poor taste. JMHO

They shoved a deodorizer in the AC unit because somebody smoked in that non smoking room last night. The only other room they had was a climb up stairs. I rejected that. Went next door where Red Roof matched their rate and let us have doggies stay and free WIFI.

*Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati, OH
Some beautiful and interesting gravesites here. I liked this little chapel-looking one.
Auntie Carolyn especially liked this submarine marker
The young woman buried here was a twin, so her parents set up double plots.
This is the view you see when you drive up, not what originally was there.
(Note: we placed the flag at the site, to honor Sgt. Kimberly Walker)
This was how the grave originally looked (photo found online)
They stand 6ft 4" and weigh 7000 each
Now they are hidden back here and also concealed by bushes
Close-up
This is for the still living, twin sister Kara (in the USN)
Sgt Walker actually had written these poems. The first
one is on her site and gives you a sense she knew she was
going to die. She was murdered on Valentine's Day, 2013
This poem is beautiful
I suspect that this was the marker they had after
the removal of the Spongebobs, during the dispute
over them. It is a standard size plaque. Based on
info I found online, the cemetery paid for the large
marble slabs to block the view. The family paid
$26K for the Spongebobs and got licensing permission.
*Skyline Chili, Cincinnati, OH
My dear friend who is an Ohio native recommended this place, then another
friend echoed her, so we sought one and found it was right in our path. Yummy!
This is a small fraction of the large baggie of cheese they give you
I took this pic because I found it funny. What does Fifth Third mean?
If you look at the signs, it isn't the street names. Weird.

Teena and Bella are ready to hit the road. They seem to wonder

*West Baden Springs Hotel

A neat little train car
Saw this train car, but never did find any "Pluto water"
I stepped out to a "farmer's market" (there were only 3 crafter booths)
and Bella was concerned that Daddy left me behind and drove away
Basically all the diners in French Lick had closed or were out of business.
So, we decided to just see what we would find along our way and we
happened upon this little diner in Palmyra, Indiana. It had outside seating
so we were able to dine with our doggies as it was too hot to leave
them in the car. This place was like being served a yummy meal
by a friend. The servings were ample, the people were super friendly and
the prices were great! Finding places like these on the backroads are like
mining, you never know when you will find a little gem. It sure beats
the heck out of fast food!
