As you know, I am impatiently waiting for the day we leave to go back east in August. I love so many things about the area and I have so many great family memories from over the years. One memory that is just so big to me is driving the 1 minute drive (literally) from my grandparent's house to Benson's Dairy Bar in Eagle Bridge, New York. It was always so fun to go at the perfect time of day, when the summer sun is setting and the fireflies start to show up. :)
Walking on the rocky, gravel ground and ordering our ice cream, then sitting in the car or in the gazebo and enjoying the weather with our cool treats. My mom would order the chocolate/vanilla twist, my grandma would get the sundae, and my sister and I would have our usual vanilla soft serve cones that I later discovered were ten times better with sprinkles, thanks Kari! :)
My sister thinks I'm off my rocker, but I think that I just might want to go to Benson's every night on our visit...is that extremely crazy?? I mean, if we have ice cream some where else that day I wouldn't go because I would have already had my ice cream fix for the day. But why not enjoy it while I can?? I guess she wouldn't understand since she is not an ice cream lover like I am...maybe that's a good thing! ;)
