All the marbles…
After a nice drive up to Stafford to visit my aunt in a nursing home, we drove to Somers to check out Sonny’s Place…a local establishment with lots of fun for every one. In addition to a well-oiled ice cream window, there is an arcade, go-cart racing, climbing walls and a nice looking mini-golf course. Unfortunately the temperature was in the mid-90s so we passed on mini-golf but we will be back!
Sonny’s sells a wide variety of Gifford’s ice cream products and soft serve ice cream with all kind of toppings. Maureen went with her standard chocolate soft serve with chocolate sprinkles. I didn’t step to far from my standard either and had a coffee milkshake. Maureen described her soft serve as “ice milk”, a bit crystalline and not very creamy but delightful. My milkshake was thick and tasty and hit the spot on a hot summer day.
After our trip to Sonny’s we took a leisurely drive home through the Connecticut countryside on the east side of the state. One of the things we tracked was gas prices and the low price for the day was $4.11 for regular in Colechester. No doubt we will be back to Sonny’s this fall to enjoy this interesting establishment and to play 18 holes of mini-golf.
