Coldstone Cake

We recently had a cake from Coldstone Creamery for my father and sisters' birthday. It had to be the best cake that I had ever eaten. It was strawberry ice cream layered with red velvet cake and covered with vanilla ice cream and frozen strawberries.

Tepee

We saw this massive tepee at an Indian Store along Interstate 81 in Virginia.

A Rough Knight

This massive stone statue of a medieval knight was built into a pillar inside the Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Md.

King Sized Drink

This Strawberry Daiquiri at Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament was a treat fit for a king (no pun intended). Measuring about 16 inches tall by eight inches in diameter, this drink was well worth the $20.00 paid for it.

Going Medieval On You...

We recently visited Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament in Hanover, Md. It was a great show that incorporated live entertainment (including sword fights and jousting) with your dinner. The food was pretty good, but be prepared to eat with your hands.

Hold On Or.....

A photo of the store sign at the Lego Outlet in the Arundel Mills Mall in Hanover, Md. The mall there was probably the biggest mall I had ever been in. It had every store you could imagine and then some.
