Ski jumping anyone?
Spent a bright and beautiful Sunday morning driving to the town of Salisbury in northwest Connecticut in search of ice cream. Although Salisbury has no creameries or ice cream shops we did find LaBonnes Market in the center of town.
Salisbury is a quaint Norman Rockwell kind of town with a few shops, two private schools—the Hotchkiss School and the Salisbury School, Line Rock speedway and the highest spot in the state. Each February, the Salisbury Winter Sports Association hosts the Eastern USA Ski Jumping Championships on Satre Hill.
LaBonnes Market is a local grocery that has all the needs for the locals with a bakery, butcher and all the produce you can imagine. Nestled on one side of the store is the frozen food section with a wide variety of ice cream. I chose a small cup of Jeni’s bramble berry crisp that was delightful and tasty. Jeni’s offers a variety of flavors that all sound delicious.
On Main Street is a charming place called Sweet Williams Coffee Shop & Bakery that Maureen enjoyed a nice strong cup of cappuccino. If your looking for a road trip this winter head to the northwest part of Connecticut. You won’t be dissappointed.
