Memorial Weekend 2009 Road Trip

We drove to Port Susan this weekend to visit with Mom and Dad before they leave on their two week cruise to Alaska on Thursday. Port Susan is a camping club west of Marysville, WA. On Saturday we drove one and one-half hours round trip just to get ice cream at a produce stand outside of La Conner, WA. While some people might think we are crazy to travel that far for ice cream, this is not your run-of-the-mill soft serve sold at most places. This is hard, hand-dipped ice cream in every imaginable flavor and the scoops are huge. We tried peach, spumoni, peppermint and mint chocolate chip. YUM!

They have a great selection of plants and herbs at the produce market. Susan and I bought two of these African Daisy plants called Summertime Spoon. We bought this one in pink and another one in deep purple.
They also had a wonderful selection of fresh breads, local wines, cheeses and jams.
Bruce and Marie joined us on Sunday. This is the first time we have been together since last summer. Unfortunately Samantha had to work so she could not join us.

I love the orchid. And Toby got one of the toys I love....I just love sock monkeys. If the weather holds out tomorrow I'm going to check out a new farmers market hopefully.
