This post was inspired by an article I read in the local paper. One of the sections has unique things in different states--this week's entry for Idaho was The Dog Bark Park Inn located in Cottonwood, Idaho. A quaint little B&B (bed & breakfast, for those not up with the lingo) that is shaped like a beagle, yes a beagle.
The giant beagle got me thinking of a postcard my sister had on her fridge last year of a building shaped like a basket...so for my google search of the day I looked up Basket shaped building and found this on a website dedicate to BIG things: The World's Largest Basket Building (TM).
There are a lot of other crazy BIG things on this website as well...you should check it out if you're looking for BIG fun. The Big List of What's Large Where. Said list even includes the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota of Weird Al fame, yes, the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.
(Unfortunately some of the links don't work any longer, but it's still an amusing way to waste some time.)
an eclectic smattering of the comings and goings of a vivacious, stunning, elegant, beautiful, witty, amazing, talented, brilliant, glamorous, distinguished, fabulous, pesky, cute, trendy, magnanimous and most recently--INDOMITABLE, 30-something-year-old woman as she explores the many splendored things offered by a very strange world.

Jared would refuse to sleep in, or visit anything that resembles a Beagle.
Seriously- who thinks up this stuff? ;)
But we did think of J&A when we saw it. How funny is that? And - they have little wooden beagles for sale (along with every other kind of dog.) Hee hee...
I have a picture of me standing next to the Worlds Largest Prairie Dog in Oakley, Kansas!
sure, it's a big cement statue, but it's shaped like a prairie dog.
I, of course, cannot endorse the beagle (Bates) motel. I am sure terrible, terrible things occur there. As for the large ball of twine...consider taking Gus there to enjoy????
