I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream!!
KIDS & KIDS AT HEART
Today is the final push home. 6 hours uggh! Well, sometimes these days can be long, tiring and monotonous, so to avoid the boring ride we are always trying to find interesting things to do. Today we entered Kawartha Lakes County. And for the life of us we couldn’t remember why that name sounded so familiar. We knew we had not visited here before, so what was it that kept us wondering why the name sounded so familiar? Then it dawned on us; Kawartha Ice Cream. With that, the Google search was on. However, by the time we searched this up we had passed Owen Sound where their main plant is located. Darn!
Halfway through the drive is Bancroft, ON and there we saw it a sign for “KAWARTHA DAIRY!” STOPPP!!!! – Jo was not missing this one. It was time for a treat and a walk around. This was the perfect spot. The ice cream was decadent! I love the fact that by the end of our trip our freezer is usually empty – so we went home with 5 litres of ice cream. “Death By Chocolate”, “Salty Caramel Truffle” and one that you can only buy at the dairy “Bear Claw” – dark chocolate ice cream with chocolate covered cashews and a ribbon of soft caramel running through it. Yep, scream it DECADENT!!!
Ok, this should help us make it the last 3 hours. Homeward bound again. I am sure with all the treats on board from this trip, the kids will be glad to see us…. Well for a little while, at least until the treats run out. Winnie needs a rest, and we know that we will be on the go again soon.
