A great day for a safari!
Today we set off north in the Connecticut Valley to the town of Newington to a long-time Connecticut establishment, Mortensen Dairy & Ice Cream on the Berlin Turnpike. Mortensen’s is the real deal with their many homemade hard ice cream flavors and their own soft serve product. The establishment is on the smaller size but has four or five tables and a bench outside.
We were met by Cici, a very pleasant and helpful staff person at the counter. They have an abundance of flavors, and specials each day. I had my usual, a coffee milkshake, that was anything but usual. This was a Brazilian coffee milkshake with a scoop of dark chocolate and this was insanely good! Mighty Mo had a peanut butter, hot fudge sundae with vanilla soft-serve.
On our way home we stopped at one of our favorite places, Safari Mini-Golf. Maureen came out on top this time but I suspect we will be back for seconds at Mortensen’s and Safari this summer.
