When I was a little girl, I remember getting ice cream in the summer from the cutest little ice cream shop. It had a carousel horse in it, and other than that I can't remember much else about it. What ever happened to cute little ice cream shops like that? Now kids are growing up with ice cream chains, and that's all.Daniel and I had ice cream at a cute little place called the Purple Cow a couple of years ago. We had gone for an overnight getaway right before L was born to Callaway Gardens. It was fun. I look forward to going somewhere alone again someday. Not someday soon, but someday.
My favorite ice cream, though still technically a chain is Brusters. LOVE it! Unfortunately, despite the fact that they have locations in TX, and they tempt me with their advertisements in my weekly coupon inserts...we do NOT have any locations anywhere near us.
When we first moved to GA, a nice couple in the ward invited us to go out to Brusters for ice cream. At that time, the nearest location was a good 35 minutes away from where we were living in Smyrna, GA. They were big fans though, so we went. It was really good, and a bonus...really reasonably priced. They eventually built a location in the suburb that we built our house in, west of Atlanta. It was only 5-10 minutes away, and that was great. The little kids (under 40 inches I think) get free kids cones. They are so cute and they put little eyes and sprinkles for hair on them. J's favorite kind was called Purple Dragon or something like that.
If I was a rich (wo)man (you have to sing that in your head with the tune of Fiddler on the Roof, or it won't read right)...I would totally open a location here in our little community. I think this would be a perfect location for it. Who really wants another place like Cold Stone where getting ice cream for your family costs you $30? Not me. Bring on the Brusters, better ice cream, better prices. So who wants to start a business with me? Just kidding...I've got my hands full already.

We LOVE Brusters too and every time we eat it I manage to say something about you. :) We went in our PJ's and got free ice cream last month and then last Friday I was craving ice cream so we went there again- I ate most of mine and Nik's ice cream (it was raining so he got an extra scoop) and.. I was really sick the next day!! Hopefully you get a Brusters near you soon!
Brusters came to Wellington and had the WORST location...so they were short lived and pulled out after the first year. They are so good. The moment I saw the location, I knew it would work against them. So many other locations would have been ben a bankroll for the owner.
Just move here and I will be your partner!!!!
