This afternoon my Aunt and Uncle contacted Allison and let her know that they were up this way and wanted to know if we wanted to meet them at Bliss for some ice cream. they were on their way down to a hotel in Providence. While it has changed names over the years this hotel was one where my grandparents stayed on their honeymoon. My aunt had a photo of the receipt and their 2 night stay was $8.75 a night and the total was $17.50 with no tax. My grandparents went there for their 50th anniversary and the tax was almost more than their first stay there. Crazy.

We each got some decent sized ice cream sundaes and that was dinner for me. I got a cookie sundae with strawberries and Oreo ice cream. This was huge and almost finished it, luckily Andy was there to eat up what was left. They offered to finish Allison’s as well but we figured that Andy did not need a major stomach ache for eating several ice cream sundaes. It was really nice to see my aunt and Uncle. We took a photo at the new big mural out front. We can cross off ice cream at Bliss as one of our Christmas traditions completed.

everyone had the day off today for Veteran’s Day. Allison, Eva and I went to see the movie The Marvels over at Showcase while Andy hung out at home. Andy is not into the Marvel movies. It was a good movie and we enjoyed it very much. Some good laughs in the movie and the end credits scenes were awesome, they really set up some things to come.

In the afternoon I ran out to Walmart to see if I could find any of the ice cream flavors from the TV show Stranger Things. In the show there is an ice cream shop called Scoops Ahoy. Well, some of the flavors created are for the show. I picked up the Triple Decker Extravaganza which is very much like a fancy waffle in ice cream form. The Void was the one I really wanted to try. I was a bit disappointed because it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be. The kids loved the Triple Decker ice cream and I had to make sure that they saved some for Allison.
