The last 6 weeks

About 6 weeks ago, we went to IHOP to try out their new funnel cakes.  Big thumbs down!  They tasted like burnt grease...yuck!  I had strawberry topping on mine and got all of 3 strawberries (cut in half so I had 6 bites of strawberry.) And for the priviledge of eating burned grease, we had to pay $7.00.  We definitely won't be having that again!

Moving forward a couple of weeks, we went on vacation to Florida.  While at Ft. Myers Beach, we found a Kilwin's candy shop.  You can't go wrong at Kilwin's!  Everything there is delicious!  Christina says it's the best chocolate she's ever had.  She had a chunk of milk chocolate while I had a dark chocolate covered pretzel.  Yum!  It's too bad there's no Kilwin's anywhere near Rome!

Today we went to Honeymoon Bakery and had a chocolate chip cookie.  (Christina had a coupon for a free cookie from the library summer reading program.)  We were expecting a warm, soft cookie with lots of chips.  What we got was a hard, cold cookie with only a few chips.  It tasted good though.  I can imagine that when the cookies are right out of the oven, they're fabulous!
