One of the things I wanted on our trip to Ogunquit was ice cream. I'm not a big fan of ice cream. It's a seasonal dessert for me to be eat on warm or hot Summer days/nights.
The weather wasn't cooperating when we went away, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to get a Chocolate Almond Joy named after the coconut candy bar. Besides, Big Daddy's ice cream was just around the corner from where we were staying.
We had a late lunch/dinner so around 8 PM, seemed to be a good time to go get ice cream. It was raining so how many people would be out getting ice cream? Seemed like the entire town of Ogunquit went out for ice cream. We got the last parking spot, but the line for ice cream was out the building. The covered porch with old-fashioned ice cream parlor tables and chairs was filled, too.
We decided to try another ice cream stand a little further down the road. The Scoop Deck. Their parking lot was filled, too.
So we ended up with our backup plan. We headed to the local grocery store and bought sundae cups. While in line at the register, I saw the candy selection included and Almond Joy which I broke up to include in my sundae. I also had ice tea.

Ice cream is always popular. It's a warm weather dessert for me too but I could eat a lot of it. :) Looks like you also got an Almond Joy bar too so the back up plan worked! Happy T day.
ReplyDeleteYes, because I was craving Almond Joy ice cream.
DeleteMy favourite is chocolate ice-cream, but I don't often have it. I'm glad you found what you wanted.
ReplyDeleteNot quite, but I made do in a pinch

Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteWhen Teague and I go out for ice cream on Thursdays, we usually go to the DQ near her house. Rain, rain, go away. Texas has gotten more than it's fair share.
DeleteThere's ALWAYS a plan 'B'!
ReplyDeleteIt appears rain doesn't keep others away from the popular ice cream spots. Your back up plan worked and I suspect you even saved a bit of money by creating your own. I eat ice cream even in winter, so it's not as special to me as it is to you. Thanks for sharing this special adventure and your iced tea with us for T this Tuesday, dear CJ.
