Somewhere in Marion County, we took a wrong turn going home. But, it was OK, because it landed us right in front of an ice cream shop.

Dairy Sensations had a bit of a crowd, lots of outdoor seating and the most important thing - ice cream cones that looked like they needed a home.

Dairy Sensation has some food, like pepperoni rolls, hot dogs and chicken strips. But, then they have hurricanes, sundaes, milkshakes and cones.

We ordered up at the outdoor counter - but there was some seating inside, as well as lots of seating outside - and waited.

Something called "crunchies" were on the menu, so I asked what those were. The folks weren't quite sure how to explain it, so they handed me a spoonful to try. There are bits of sprinkles and little crunchy balls that are peanut butter flavored. I thought hell with it, let's get a chocolate/vanilla swirled ice cream cone and let's get the crunchies.

And, it was good! There's gotta be a better mechanism for getting the crunchies to stay because they just created a giant mess. They were good - maybe fewer though - but the ice cream was tasty.

And, I especially loved that Brittany's milkshake came in this old-school cup design.


Afterward, we took a trip - while eating ice cream - to check out the castle on Tyrone Road. Cool.
