Guinness Book of World Records


This blog may not be about saving you money but it will definitely tell you about something fun to do while on vacation or how to spend part of your weekend.  Monday, I drove with Maria to Davis to visit a friend, Judy.  Once we picked up Judy we drove her to one of my favorite past times.  I admit it.  I love corn mazes.  The largest corn maze in the world is in Dixon, Ca., just outside of Davis. The maze covers 53 acres.  When it got the Guinness Book of World Records distinction the maze covered only 40 acres.

These mazes are really large.  Some are more difficult than others to navigate.  Just read about what happened to a Massachusetts couple last year when they tried to navigate a corn maze.

A family in Massachusetts got an unexpected adventure after getting lost in a corn maze.
Police got a 911 call from a woman who was trapped in the Connors Farm maze in Danvers, Mass., after closing time Monday evening.
She said it was supposed to be fun, but quickly became a nightmare.
On the 911 call, the woman says, "I don't see anybody. I'm really scared. It's really dark and we got a 3-week-old baby with us.
The operator replies, "Just relax, calm down. You husband's with you right?"
She replies, "Yes, but my baby --- "
The operator responds, "I understand. And a police officer is on the way."
"Early Show" co-anchor Jeff Glor reported it didn't take long for police to find the family and escort them out of the maze to safety. As it turns out, they were just 25 feet away from the exit.
Have a great weekend.  Find a corn maze near you!


I will be braving this corn maze next month
