The winters here are usually pretty mild. You don't often see much snow and by February you can usually get away with wearing a light jacket. At least that's what I was thinking when my Mom flew here with the girls and I last month. Mentally, I was ready to go for walks in the park, explore some local sites and most importantly take my Mom to our favorite ice cream place. I had a fun little list growing in my mind. What I wasn't expecting was the amount of sick days my kids would have when we got home and the huge snow storm making the roads a nightmare to drive on. It felt like waiting for Antarctica to thaw as we waited for the roads to be good enough to go out on. It wasn't until Mom's last day here that we got the go-ahead for clear freeways and we loaded up the car for an adventure.
Well let me tell you, Salt & Straw on a snowy morning is the best time to go. We practically had the place to ourselves and got parking right beside the shop. They let my Mom sample every flavor on the board and she even bought a t-shirt to remember the experience. It was an ice cream feast made all the sweeter with happy girls and a sleeping babe. It doesn't get any better than that. My flavor choice this month was "Alma's Rose Petals & Chocolate Mole Fudge" on top of "Cocanu's Baked Milk & Bee Pollen." The split scoop is the way to go.
