Here are photos of a few of the ice cream parlors we've visited recently. We've all agreed that while McDonald's or Dairy Queen would be acceptable in a pinch, high-end ice cream is our preference. We gladly detour miles out of our way to enjoy first-class treats.
(Click on photos for a closer look.)
At C. C. Espresso and Creamery, on Main Street, Duvall, Washington, I had espresso flavored ice cream. A kid-sized portion was plenty big!
As we near the senior center after a long day on the trails, we know we can always stop at Gosanko Chocolate in downtown Auburn. Their primary business is chocolates, but they have a pretty good selection of ice cream, too. I love their butter pecan.
Yummy!
With all the ice cream I've had with the walking/hiking group, it's a good thing we get plenty of exercise to offset some of the calories, isn't it?

These ice cream parlors are the best! Aside from the treat itself, the shops each have delightful things to look at while enjoying the yummy desserts. I really like that vintage one with old telephones.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and here are MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOTS
I've been to Wapit Woolies and enjoyed their ice cream. We didn't make it up the mountain this summer though. It's always a favorite trip. I'll keep going until that girl blows her top. The goodies look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLaurel-Rain: The ice cream parlor in Duvall was a fun spot. I'd love to go back!
ReplyDeleteGrace: I went up to Mount Rainier only once this summer myself, but I did hike nearby several times. It's always a glorious area to visit, plus there's Wapiti Woolies on the way!
Thanks to both of you for stopping by and leaving comments.
Yum! Who knew, until now, the REAL motivation for your hikes (:
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, Judy, that the opportunity to visit high-class ice cream parlors is one of my motivations to hike. Unfortunately, I probably take in more calories than I expend!
ReplyDeleteLol I love that you reward yourselves with ice cream! We are fans of ice cream in this house too. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Wapiti Woolies place looks awesome! And the flavors at Bliss Creamery made me hungry. I would like some Honey Lavender please!
Have a great week!
Oh, yum. I've had chocolates from Gosanko's. Big smile.
