Southside Park, Beaufort

So we snuck away today to check out this park. Like so many things and places in life, it’s right down the street and we didn’t even know about it. Southside Park, Beaufort, is a very nice, well keep park down a handful of side streets but worth the short drive to check it out. […]

A General Store / candy store and so much more

Zeb’s General Store embodies the nostalgia and quality offered by the general stores of yesteryear with a decidedly whimsical flair. From the old-fashioned candy counter that lures children off the street to the impressively grand collection of New England made specialty foods, those in search of a wide range of hard-to-find and nostalgic items will […]

One of the first big candy stores I visited a few years back

Home of the World’s Longest Candy Counter, a visit to Chutters is a trip to Candyland where the air is delicious with the mouth-watering scents of candy and fresh-made fudge. Chutters has something for candy lovers young and old in a lively, fun-filled atmosphere. My first visit here, was god, maybe 20 years ago. How […]

Grand Daddy of all the candy stores

Ok, but my All-time Favorite place is B.A. Sweeties Candy Store. The LARGEST Candy Store in America and only a short drive from Maine (if you have a sweet tooth like me, and like driving) this store is just s Hirt drive south of Cleveland for a day of fun and belly aches. My Grandson […]

Oh, and yes, another great candy store

Grandpa’s Cheese Barn, Chocolates & WAY More. Just came back from a trip which included this stop, and the folks with us had a blast, (and I just order some more Beef Jerky). These fine folks have it all, Candy, Chocolates, Popcorn, Beef Jerky, Cheeses, (sample the cheese till you can’t take anymore) Mixes, Sauces, […]

Another Great Candy Store

Another favorite place is Sweet & More, in Wiscasset, ME (New Englands largest candy store). These also have locations in Bretton Woods and North Conway, NH. One of the differences here is most candy is pre-bagged, this is ok, but at Country Kettle, I get to put as much or as little (Yeah who I’m […]

One of my favorite Candy Stores

Country Kettle store in Stroudsburg, PA. I’ll let the pictures speak for me …Love this place. Now that’s not to say, I don’t have a few other places I like, but this place is one of, if not, my favorite one. Here I can fill a bag with just the items I want, 1 of […]

Our Big Trip last year… Sturgeon Bay, WI via, NH, NY, OH, IN,…

This was a 3 plus week trip, so this is a long blog… enjoy This trip was suppose to happen 2 years ago, but my lovely wife got very sick (heck, they said she wasn’t going to leave the hospital alive kind of sick), but she proved them wrong and we went on the trip […]

Checking out a New Park in Beaufort, SC – Whitehall Park

We’ve been in Beaufort, SC now about a month and decided it’s time to check out some of the other places to see, walk and enjoy.  Whitehall Park is about 2 miles or so from the place we are staying. Our visit was pleasant enough, but not likely to visit many more times, mostly because […]

Downtown Beaufort, SC

This is one of the cutest, quaint downtowns we have visited over the years. Beaufort downtown sits on the waterfront, has a great park and water edge walkway, (which is currently closed because of storm damage from the last hurricane that went through the area) which is the backside of the stores on Main Street.
