Our Ice Cream Story

Here is the story behind our love of ice cream:

We like to use the facebook check-in to remember our fun outings and memorable days, and thanks to the new facebook timeline, it is even easier to go back and look to see what we have done on a specific day or holiday. Now my husband really likes ice cream, A Lot, and always enjoys stopping for a treat when we are out and about. Many of my friends starting commenting on how we must really like ice cream since we seem to frequently stop for ice cream. So we started checking-in and posting on facebook each and every time we had ice cream, even if it was just a quick cone at McDonald's. Other times we would get ice cream, like when we went to the Twins game, just so that we could post it on facebook. These frequent ice cream stops, and my husband's love of making "best of lists" has led us to needing to find more establishments to patron and our summer ice cream goal. What started as purposeful check-ins every time we ate ice cream just because people were commenting, has turned into an ice cream quest.

Our goal for the summer is to try as many ice cream shops as we can, and see if we can find some new favorites along with keeping track of the best. We love the little local shops and good old fashioned, creamy, traditional ice cream and our basis on what makes great tasting ice cream. I am going to keep track of where we go, both old favorites and new, along with our thoughts on taste and value. Now onto our summer of the best ice cream.
