Sherman's Ice Cream- South Haven, Michigan

Vacation time is ice cream time for me.  We do not indulge in this sweet treat at home, so I like to stop and get a scoop of a local favorite when we are on vacation.  While visiting South Haven, Michigan, during our road trip around Lake Michigan, we stopped at an ice cream house that has been serving ice cream for 65 years.  Sherman's is a family-run ice creamery. The family has been in the dairy business since 1916 but started selling ice cream when Port Sherman, one of the family's sons, got started.  Port wanted to make one of the best ice creams around, loaded with natural flavors and designed unique flavors.  Sherman's Ice Cream is still doing that today.


I noticed that they had a special blueberry sundae available on the menu.  It was vanilla ice cream with a fresh blueberry sauce.  Anything with a fresh blueberry sauce is a winner in my book.  I placed my order, and they asked if a wanted a small or a regular.  I ordered the small, trying to be good while still indulging.  Our order was quickly passed out through the service window, and to the amazement of my eyes, the sundae served in an ice cream boat had 5 scoops of ice cream on it.


The ice cream lived up to the family tradition, full of flavor with just the right mouth feel.  It was creamy and smooth without having the extra weight of frozen custard.  The blueberry sauce was just as good as it sounded to set out to enjoy the sundae.  Each bite tasted great and encouraged you to have just one more, making sure to get each bite covered with that fresh blueberry sauce.  To my utter amazement, a short time late, I was actually looking at an empty ice cream boat.  I ate the whole sundae.

National Park Sites - Arkansas

Image
I would have never guessed that Arkansas might be the first state that I would have visited all the National Park Sites in.  I only have one left to go.  I always made fun of Arkansas until I actually visited it. Arkansas is known as "The Natural State" and it is a well-earned title.  There are some amazingly beautiful places to visit in Arkansas and I still have a lot of the state to explore.  There are seven different sites run by the National Park Service in Arkansas.  Six of the site are historical in nature and one site is based on the natural beauty of the area. I have ranked the sites here based on my preferences and only rank the sites that I have been to. #1 - Buffalo National River The Buffalo River became America's first national river when it was established in 1972 and snakes its way 135 miles through northwest Arkansas through the Ozark Mountains.  It is one of the few remaining undammed rivers in the lower 48 states.  The large bluffs, surrounding

Visiting Bethesda Maryland

Image
I have come to Bethesda Maryland a number of times for work and always look forward to returning.  Located north of Washington D.C., I find that it is easy to get to the National Mall and other Washington D.C. attractions, without being in the hustle and bustle.  Bethesda is the home of Walter Reed Medical Center and the National Institutes of Health.  It has a vibrant downtown area with lots of interesting food options. Getting around in Bethesda is easy by car and is close enough to places to stay that you can either walk or take uber.  The Metro goes right through the area as well so it is possible to catch the metro back to Regan National Airport or down to go and see the monuments and museums.

California Cheese Trail

Image
 While visiting the Cowgirl Creamery Barn Store in Point Reyes Station, I learned bout the California Cheese Trail from a brochure.  I love the idea of any type of food or beverage trail, so I grabbed the brochures and started looking at them.  I was surprised to learn how many different creameries there were in the state of California.  I enjoy visiting cheese factories and buying cheese directly from the factory where you find many different varieties of cheese that you will not find in stores because they are done in small batches.  We were only able to visit one of the creameries while we were on our trip.  We could have done a lot more if we had known about the cheese trail ahead of time. We visited the Cowgirl Creamery .  I am looking forward to our next trip to California with this map of locations in hand to visit many more of the state's cheesemakers.     For more on the California Cheese Trail, visit https://cheesetrail.org/ .  They also have an app for your phone tha
