Your Special Friend for here is coming for a visit. Where would you take them?

There's a not a lot to do here in the town where I live, but I'd take them on a tour of the town square that is actually quite quaint and cute. Visit some of the antigue shops, lunch in the park maybe, or maybe a slice of pie and coffee at the town cafe where all the locals hang-out. If the weather was nice, maybe a picnic at the lake. Or..we could go to the town over me for Chinese or Mexican food and then to the Helms Street Bar and Grill for dancin. Or...we might stay in, throw some steaks on the grill.

That sounds nice. Know that when someone has come to visit me they want to see Vegas. Like showing New Vegas...then taking a nice walk throw The Freemont District (Old Vegas). There is so much to see in Arizona...old mining towns, Sedona, and of course the Grand Canyon.

There are a ton of places I would take a friend visiting me. Usually I would start with a hike at Arabia Mountian with my two small ponies, as know as large puppies that weigh over 120 pounds. We would enjoy the view from the top watching the cars drift past on oneside reminding us what reality awaits for us once our hike is over but if we turn around we would look out across a beautiful pond imaging for a moment that it is enchanted with a large, magically but friendly sea dragon protecting the small village upon the hill filled with cobblestone roads, smiling faces, little shops of treats, and horse drawn carriages while a wizard cast a protection spell around the town disguising it as a normal neighborhood to the naked eye. After our morning hike we would swing through a little neighbor hood called Portedale and enjoy a meal at Smiley's watching neighbors joyfully converse about small town gossip. We would enjoy dessert from the little coffee shop across the street carrying our refreshments to the bridge to watch the water travel across the shoals. If the weather is warm we would probably get into trouble by cooling of toes in on the shoreline. We would spent the afternoon enjoying each other's company at a small theater watching the local talented actors preform the latest play. For dinner we would enjoy an outdoors meal of Thai food at my friend's little resturant around the corner listening to him laughingly tell us about his latest specails. Still hungry for some entertainment we would finish the evening in Covington walking around the square watching families laugh and town with others. When we reach Scoops we would treat our taste buds with something sweet then enjoy them on the rocking chairs on the porch watching our small town enjoy the Georgia Weather for the evening.

I see you are in NW AZ.. Take them to Sedona..Lots of things to do there and shopping, beautiful scenery...My favorite place there is Tlaquepaque...I don't think they would be disappointed...

Not to mention the Pink Jeep Tours.

I've been to lilbug's house. She ain't lyin'.

Grew up in Missouri. Yep there is a lot to do there.

to my rooom...heehee.

Than to "Dairy Queen" of course!!!

LOL! Well, I am not planning to cover the state of MO when folks come to vist, just my little corner of it.

I think that depends on the weather and them. I would show them the historical stuff for sure. Take them on at least an easy hike up through the rain forest. If the weather was permitting I think crabbing or clamming would be on the list of things to do. I also would ask that they do some research on the island to check out anything they might want to see or do that I wouldn't think of.
If they were really really special I know of a private hotsprings on the back side of the island that is pretty kewl.

If I had a special friend, or even if any of my friends came to visit. I would...

Wow there is so much to do...I would start here in the Daytona area. We have an amazing flea market that is huge, and prices are so reasonable. Downtown Daytona there are shops galore to explore. We have a musuem that has lazer shows.

Would take a day or two and go down to Orlando. Would spend a day exploring Old Town. Old Town is made up of small shops, resturants, and a small amusement park. Another day would be spent at one of the major parks relaxing and riding.

St Augustine is another area that has so much history.

I have heard of Silver Springs I think the name is and this town has a tree that is in the shape of a horseshoe, they say having your picture taken while touching the tree will bring good luck.

Always something to do, a new place to explore

Sounds good to me.

St. Louis has so many activities to choose from!! It depends on the weather too.

Take them to the damn for that firt encounter..it would be most magical!

Bagnell Damn?

Well I hope its in the summer time. A quick cruise of "downtown", then by the bay, along the peninsula, to a lighthouse or two. the to "the lake" out to the sand dunes. A kayak float trip down the Platte River which ends up at "the lake"
Driving though the countryside, mostly woods around here. Same deal in the fall, hopefully its still warm enough to do a little swimming. Out to Macinac Island, the colonial fort, good places to eat steak and fish. No real Mexican food around here really.

Don't you both mean dam?

MM could send you some Mexican food. It would still be hot when it got there.

I am gettin' tired of making my own tortillas and roasting chilis.
