We rather serendipitously stumbled across this gem of Americana in Pennsylvania last night. This now stationary big bucket was once one of the rotating buckets used on KFC signage. Love it.

On Tuesday we packed our toothbrushes, a hand of bananas and hopped into the car and pointed it west. We didn’t have much of a plan other than, “let’s go somewhere.” So, we did. We stopped off to visit The Coffee Pot in Bedford, Pa. I have long wanted to visit it. Since we were nowhere near the neighborhood it seemed like the perfect place to stop.

On our way home from visiting with Gram in Maine this summer, we made a pit stop to visit the Desert of Maine. The tour consisted of a ride around a sandy yard in a trailer. At the tail end of the tour, kids were allowed to go gem mining in one of the dunes. Chloe in her sarcastic delivery said, “What a gyp,” when we were told parents could have 1 minuscule gem if they found one and children could have 3.
Now, my love for roadside attractions and kitschy things is well documented but – out of 4 stars, I would have to give the Desert of Maine about a 1.5. It was pretty… dry. (Thank you! Thank you! I’ll be appearing all week!)
