Baskin Robbins . . . or Not

Did you know that tonight was 31-cent scoops night at Baskin Robbins? Judging from the line extending out the door, you probably knew, along with everyone else in the country. Dave and I headed over to take part as soon as he got home from his open house at school. The following is a pictorial account of our adventure.


I scrambled for some change in our change bowl, but this was the largest coin I found. Do you think they'd accept euro currency?

Alas, the line was too long and the temps a little too chilly to take part, so we headed home. I was very sad, but Dave missed the memo that you're supposed to be sad when you miss out on Baskin Robbins.

Ah, here we go. There's nothing like unity in marriage, even when it comes to sadness over missed ice cream.

All was not lost, thanks to the pudding cups we had waiting for us in the fridge. Hooray for another sweet treat!

We didn't even have to wait outside in the cold for this!

Perhaps next year, we'll have the patience and better temps to take part in the cheap ice cream night, but I'm happy with my pudding cups and another fun adventure with my husband.

Did you try the one on Army Trail? That line moved quite fast, and they had a band who played, making the wait time much more enjoyable.

(Confession: The guy who owns that Baskin Robins attends our church [though we didn't know he was affiliated before we got there], and the band who played included two friends from church.)

The Baskin Robins on Army Trail was awesome, and overall the experience was good. Then again, we went around 8:00.
