Fishy Stories
They are back safely!
I have posted on Flickr the wonderful photographs that my husband and father took during the boys' trip to the aquarium whilst I had my day of relaxation.
Apparently, they all had a blast. Spliggle really enjoyed the fish, of course wanting to touch them. The Cat appreciated the park nearby, which contained a train and some "tracks" to follow.
For my husband, however, a favorite moment came during the trip to the Ghiradelli ice cream shop. Everyone but my mother ordered vanilla ice cream with hot fudge. She selected mint chocolate chip.
Husband likes to tease me when I do things identically to my mother. So he gleefully told me that he now understood why my favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.

WTF? They went to Ghiradelli and had VANILLA?
pleasepleasepleaseplease tell me it's because of a chocolate allergy.
It's like going to Ben & Jerry's for an apple.

Yeah. They had vanilla, but with hot FUDGE. So, um, the vanilla highlighted the chocolate fudge! The ice-cream isn't made by Ghiradelli; only the fudge, sprinkles, and other confections are. They didn't actually pass up additional sources of Ghiradelli goodness. Perhaps you would have ordered a bowl of pure hot fudge, skipping the ice-cream? ;-)
