mother/daughter 13th annual camping trip-part 1

August 3, 2012

Wow it’s hard to believe my mom and I have been taking the same vacation now for 13 years! It never gets old though! We look forward to visiting familiar places and discovering new places. We jam pack our few days of “camping” to the brim. I say “camping” because, while we do sleep in tents, we sleep on cots and are able to use regular toilets and shower daily. That way when we head into the little towns to explore we look put together but we can still come back to camp and have a fire at night.

Maybe you didn’t know I was away since I planned ahead! Ha! But I was. I went on the annual mother/daughter camping trip. This was our 13th year! We had so much fun and I have lots to share. Not right now but soon, like tomorrow soon.

 

Old fashioned ice cream parlor

July 27, 2012

The other night after dinner my mom, her husband, my friend and I all walked into town for some ice cream. There is a super cute ice cream shop where they make fudge and their own waffle cones. My mom actually helps out there when the owner needs help, like she has time, but she enjoys it. When I asked her about it she said she always wanted to work in an ice cream shop. Isn’t that cute! Since I don’t love waffle cones I got an old fashioned dual top. How cool is that cone! I’m 100% sure it made my ice cream taste better. Hahaha! I chose almond joy and good ol peppermint (mint ice cream tops my favorite list).

What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?

P.S. This weekend my mother and I are headed out on our 13th annual camping trip but while I’m gone I have a few posts planned and I’m especially excited about Monday’s post! I’m starting a new feature  so you should stop by and check it out!! I’m so super excited about it!
