Time to think about a Staycation

You have been working hard all winter long and the summer is closing in on you.  Time to think vacation.  Well, with the cost of flights and the hassle of delays due to volcanic ash floating around, coupled with the fear of $4 a gallon gas prices.  Within 3 hours, you can be relaxing lakeside in a gorgeous Log cabin taking in some of the most breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.  Deep Creek Lake offers a variety of activities for all.

Friday Frederick Foto for Ice Cream

This week has been one of the warmer weeks of the summer.  I’m not complaining, just sayin’.  One of my favorite past times when it’s hot (or cold out) is visiting local ice cream establishments.

Here are a few places around Frederick County and surrounding areas that you might find me enjoying a cone.

• Jami’s out on Route 40.  The best (and least expensive) soft serve around.  Love the flavor of the week.
• Ben & Jerry’s on Carroll Creek.  Always has a flavor for your mood.  Plus, people watch is always the best along the creek.
• Jimmie Cone off 144 in Mt Airy.  This is a local icon.
• Nutter’s in Sharpsburg next to the Library.
• Maggie Moos has some of the tastiest creation as well in Westview plaza.
• Bruster’s on Crestwood and New Design.
• Rita’s Ice on South St.
• Dairy Queen of course.
• RIP – FreezKing  It was one of my favorites

So, tell me where is your ice cream place?
