All because of a detour!
On the way home from a golf outing with my buddy Conrad we were forced to take a detour to the north through the town of Portland and much to our surprise there was a Dairy Queen on Connecticut Route 66. So we had to stop and check it out.
This is a new facility and not the older style Dairy Queen I recall from previous trips along Route 66. The place is very modern with a very active drive-thru, a large menu including grilled burgers and fries and of course ice cream!
In addition to a wide variety of concoctions they sell ice cream cakes and my favorite Dilly Bars, prepackaged to go. I went with a small chocolate soft serve on a wafer cone (sorry Mo) and Conrad went for the classic strawberry shortcake Blizzard that is also celebrating Major League Baseball.
Next time you are forced to take a detour, think of it as a gift and maybe you too can find an ice cream joint waiting for you!
