SILLY SIGNS & SIGHTS

NEW:  SHOP RATINGS

We like to have fun and go where the winds take us although we may have a general destination in mind. The best memories are the stops along the way, the people we meet, the coincidences that take place, finding a Starbucks or a Taco Bell, and what we end up with when we expected something entirely different. We count firsts (first tornado sighting, first time in a new state, etc), poke fun at things in stores and might be considered to be slightly crazy by most, but really enjoy meeting other good souls with a major sense of humour along the way.

The trips are here for our documentation, and perhaps, your amusement.
We hope you enjoy wandering through our wanderings.

RESTAURANT AND HOTEL RATINGS

How we rate restaurants and hotels: General total score :
We walk in with zero points and an open mind.
If an aspect is not remarkable, it gets zero points.
If any aspect is remarkably good, it gets one point.
If any aspect is remarkably bad, it looses one point.
Add up the points.  Simple.
-X  = we will not return
0  = We will return only if desperate
1  = We will return if in the area
2  = We will go out of our way to return
3  = We plan entire trips to return

P.S. When we manage to obtain a worthwhile recipe, it is posted in the Baby Boomer Cookbook
