I Scream You Scream We all Scream!



The last thing my expanding waistline needs is smooth, flavorful, and rich ice cream made from a 12% milk and cream mixture.

Unfortunately, my soul does in fact need it, and put up a really strong argument in favor of the stuff.
So, my soul and I convinced my sweets that we needed a summer mini-date night and headed out to enjoy a marvelous sunset drive in search of the perfect cone.


We found this little gem in Richfield, Ohio. Well worth the scenic drive through the winding roads of the valley! Is there a better way to spend an evening than blasting your favorite songs on your iPod, windows down, with your love, in the summer? Not for this little lady.

Of course, I couldn't choose between the freshest Melt-in-Your-Mouth Banana and the creamy Wish-I-Had-a-Bucket-of-It Butter Pecan. So, as is my tradition with shopping, I had both! One scoop of each please!  Pure genious, I know. I could tell the 16 year old kid felt the same as I shouted my bright idea to her across the counter.  


And, just in case you're wondering. I'm wearing the $1.00 dress I purchased at the Salvation Army last summer. It made me feel very Mad Men.

 Now, if I only had a '57 Chevy.
A girl can dream.
Sigh.

Visit Ohio In Your Own Backyard

Akron and Cleveland residents are super lucky to have the amazing Cuyahoga Valley National Park right in their backyard. There are countless trails for hiking and biking. One of my personal favorites is the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Yesterday, I took my bike down to enjoy some solitude and nature watching. Of course,  I brought my camera. You never know what you'll find in the park!









There are several points of interest along the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. I entered on the Ira Trailhead located on 3801 Riverview Rd., Peninsula, OH, 44264. However, you can start the towpath wherever you choose. There are 48 Trailheads and 81+ miles to choose from! Oh, and did I mention? Totally FREE!

Just in researching for this post, I found an activity that I would love to try and I think you might too! Click here!

For more in depth information about the Towpath Trail, visit the website. I'm excited to try something new, and I hope you are too. 

Let summer begin!
