There was no rental agency, the rental that year was a VRBO.

How do the beaches in Grayton look now, are the Dunes still roped off?

Love love LOVE the Broken Egg, but the kids like Donut Hole. Gotta keep the youngsters happy.

This thread made me LOL!!! (sunbathing nakey just does not jive with my visions of Sowal's style of beach livin'.) But, I'd rather see nakey butts over CIGARETTE butts on the beach any day!

:D Ahhh, nevermind, I needed to GO ADVANCED.

Bravo. (Aren't there any smiley-face-clapping-doohickeys anymore?)

Well, this post was two years ago, pre-BP.......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxDQwhpRJHw&feature=player_embedded Just thought you might be interested in Anna Maria Island's bangin trolley. It was fantastic for many different uses. Our family looooves it. There is also a website savethetrolley.com.

Nope, but 2 weeks next year, baby!

Wow, it's been two years, sounds like I really had a great time on this trip. Thanks for the post, Ghost-of-Vacations-Past-Nodilbert.

It takes a black heart to treat an innocent animal this way. I hope that "what goes around, comes around" works in this case. :(

We just got back from 12 days on Anna Maria Island in the Gulf. We thought it was just going to be a once-and-done thing there and that we'd be heading back to Grayton next year. But, I have to say that it was so nice to NOT worry about June grass and red flags.......we had 12 days on AMI of...

Holy COW, that is truly an amazing photo!

Allrecipes.com came from Seattle this week to feature me in a webisode for "What's Cooking, America" on their new website, allrecipes.tv! I represented Pennsylvania. They're travelling to 26 states in 26 weeks....... It was sooo much fun! They brought in a camera crew and filmed me making...

Well, today I confirmed that my sister, two nieces, 21 and 19, and me have slotted the week of 7/24 for our girls-only vacation week. So I immediately got in my head that we are going to fly to Panama City and sprung into action. I found a few cute houses in Grayton after calling Rivard and...

Aww, thanks for noticing my little post here in Business, Goods and Services, Dun-ahh ;-), but I would never ever go alone, I despise quiet/solitude -- I'm a Gemini!

I guess this wasn't interesting enough, so I got booted to Business Goods and services? I thought posting how CHEAP the airfare is to get there might drum up some bizness. No matter, I'm not coming now anyway....even if my airfare was free....nobody wants to come with me...:shock:

Oh, I am SO going to make this! What a great idea!

Woweee, I just checked airfare from Baltimore to Panama City's new airport and it is running 225.00 pp round trip. That is amazing to me. And I have a free round-trip flight to boot.....this makes going on a spur-of-the-moment trip to Grayton extremely doable. And this time, no dog and no...

Buffalo Chicken Legs Buffalo Chicken Legs Take 12 chicken legs, remove the skin (use a paper towel and pull skin off leg) and put into crockpot. Sprinkle with 1/2 tsp each of garlic powder and onion powder and salt. Cut 1/4 cup of butter into small cubes and sprinkle on top. Pour 5 oz of hot...

Our first trip to the area was 11 years ago. I stumbled upon the area after looking online to find out more about one of my all-time favorite movies, The Truman Show. I couldn't believe there was actually a Seaside. There weren't a lot of pictures online, and I don't know if this site even...

I like your style, Aggieb.

Is this what you were trying to say.... http://www.youtube.com/v/L9HQ6lHOyfE&hl=en_US&fs=1& Googling: Shaking that ass was a hee-hee kind of funny.

I wasn't sure if I could say ass on here or not. I assume if I use the word ass as a description of an animal or as a general body part, it is okay to say ass. But if using it to describe, say, another driver, or go further into detailed portions of that body part, the ass, to describe an...

Princess out of San Juan. Aruba was our least favorite, next to Old San Juan -- YUK. Shell Island could kick Palm Beach's ass* in a street fight:clap: We did go to a funny place on Eagle Beach, the Aruba Beach Club, for a drink and a dip. The average age at the bar was about 78, Frank Sinatra...

FROM FRIEND TO FRIEND You're giving me a special gift, So sorrowfully endowed, And through these last few cherished days, Your courage makes me proud. But really, love is knowing When your best friend is in pain, And understanding earthly acts Will only be in vain. So looking deep...

My husband and I got back last week from a whirlwind tour of the Caribbean OK, it was a cruise, a really nice cruise, but that doesn't sound nearly as cool and debonair as "whirlwind tour" did :cool: Anywho, we visited Grenada, Aruba, Dominica, Bonaire and St. Thomas, Tortola, Antigua, San...

I just realized that I am seriously considering a trip somewhere else due to Fabrice's closing.....I can't believe that I based an entire family vaca around almond pastries, but alas, I'm finding myself looking elsewhere this year....:confused: Apparently, that was one mighty fine pastry -- so...

I really have nothing to say about Walmart/Fudpuckers coming, since I'm only a casual observer 2 weeks a year....it's not really any of my bizness. There was a huge hullaballoo here when a local farmer sold his beautiful and lush land to Walmart, zoning was sneakily changed, and people were...

I guess Fabrice read Who Moved My Cheese.....

Oh no. Did Fabrice book out? While we were in there last time he was talking about wanting to move to Charleston.

Paula, are you in the mental health field, by any chance? Because your posts are so relaxing to read, and to the point. I feel like each one is a mini-therapy session for me. :0) If you were an iPhone app, I'd download you. ♥

I'm in the process of trying to convince good friends of ours to join us for 2 weeks in (our) heaven, a.k.a. Grayton Beach......I'm finding it sooooo difficult to explain the feeling of the area, and how just doing the simplest things there can seem so downright sublime. Like eating a croissant...

Ahhhh, yes. That's my favorite, along with the round one in the center, which I'm not sure what it was but it was almond also and soooo scrumptious.

Brush teeth, hair in pony tail, put on bathing suit and shorts, apply sunscreen. Ride bike to Fabrice with loved one(s) of choice. Get black coffee, order every pastry they have and eat every last one. Go directly to beach and stay put, making trips back only for provisions: beer, orange wedges...

It really is. I forgot to mention that in the bookstore they put out big bowls of pizza goldfish crackers in their little seating nooks, just like in a bar. I know I'll never get goldfish in a Barnes and Noble.

Walmart shops local retailers. So does Target, CVS, Walgreens, Staples, all of them I'm sure they're already comp shopping even the tiny retailers there. We have a supermarket up here, Wegmans. Wegmans is the ultimate grocery store and makes the nicest Publix look like a Piggly Wiggly. I...

I also went into NYC in November for the "Sex and the City Bus Tour" with girlfriends, and we met two really cute guys....

I think a stay-over would be necessary, though, it would be a really long day by train from Washington. Long, but funn! I think a good long weekend plan would be 1/2 hour in Baltimore :biggrin:, 2 days in Washington -- but you really need 3) -- for the Smithsonian, the monuments, the zoo, and...

Alexandria, VA: Travel and Historical Information

I work in Baltimore quite often, it's an easy 2 hour drive for me. I wouldn't go to Baltimore for any other reason than I am getting PAID to go there. Their waterfront is polluted and smells like gasoline. The aquarium is a bore. You can go to a Cheesecake Factory or Planet Hollywood or Barnes...

Your dog is quite "fetching" :floor:(pardon the pun)

http://atopica.com/ Here's their website, they also have coupons that they email to me. I just do not know why the vets office's don't offer it more readily.....both my and my sister's dogs had tests run, cortizone shots, steroid pills, anti-itch pills, really expensive and hard-to-find foods...

I get it at my Vet's office. They usually have to order it in, and it takes 2 business days to get. Russell is 13 pounds and he takes one 25 mg pill/day. My sister also uses it for her llasa apso on a permanent basis. Louie licks everything until his tongue is raw and he has no fur. He...

My 19-year-old son is definitely not going the traditional 4-year college direction. Since about 10 years old, he's had a real interest in boats, and specifically, marine mechanics. Are there any schools in the Panhandle or surrounding areas that have a course of study in this field? We have...

This was very sweet. Sorry for your loss.

I'm happy to report that, after three days of Atopica, he's back on the job! (you can see the missing fur on his drivers-side front paw.)

My dog gets awful skin allergies every September. About the first week of September every year, it starts. In a matter of a few days, he'll lick all the fur off his paws and belly and becomes extremely uncomfortable. This started four years ago. That first year, it got so bad that we almost...

Oh why did you do this to me? I have to leave for work in 20 minutes, I read this and now I look a mess, puffy bloodshot eyes, blotchy face -- a sobbing mess! Dog stories just kill me!
