Road Trips and Sweet Treats
Loading ...One the best parts of taking a road trip are the stops you make along the way.
Coming back from our restful and beautiful weekend down in Corsicana, Texas, we stopped off highway 19 heading North at a roadside Peach Orchard. The little town of Emory was just a little North of us.
Although the peaches were beautiful, they weren’t the reason we stopped.
It was the backend of the Peach Stand that had the REAL GOODS…
Made fresh from the orchard, Peach Ice Cream!
That man standing in the back had a HOT job and a LONG line of customers. It really took him no time at all to bust out the ice cream. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing…Cha-Ching$$$
It was frozen, creamy and had bits of peaches all through out…
DOH!
BRAIN FREEZE!
Ever since we stopped at that peach stand, I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making homemade ice cream. I’m seriously considering scouring thrift stores for one of those ice cream makers that was hardly ever used.

Wow! I love the expression;) I felt I am eating icecreams:)
I too like to go on for a long drive, but Singapore is too small, we can go from this end to the other in an hour

With kids in the car, an hour can be long enough.
Texas is 790 miles long and 660 miles wide at its most distant points.
We are on a family vacation right now. 5 hours from home to San Antonio, Texas. On the first day, we stopped after 3 hours in San Marcos and went tubing down the San Marcos river. Very cool.
Day 2 & 3, Sea World!
Day 4, on our way back home, we are stopping at a salsa making factory and an ice cream factory to do the tour and free samples gig.
Any Texans out there wanna guess what factories we’re visiting?
