Ice Cream Trucks!

I never grew up with these. Now, however, they are all over Queens!!

Joe and I walked to Bowne Park today and heard the infamous 'Pop Goes The Weasel'. His ears perked up and my did as well. While he was sniffing out the exact location of the truck, I saw a couple walk past with vanilla wafer cones.

'I never liked soft serve', I thought.

But today was different. I was craving the sweet, cold, meltable, lickable, treat! We walked fast to the vendor, ordered, and found ourselves ooh-ing and ahh-ing over how, for different reasons, we never really had ice cream from Mr. Softee. His mom would say 'no' because they had ice cream at the house. And me... well... I grew up in the "country".

See, there are some advantages to this adult thing!
