Dinner and Ice Cream!

We went out to dinner on Thursday night after Ayden's theater class and Gabriel's adventure in the park since we were already out and had no dinner planned at home. I had been out with a few girlfriends from church to this fun spot in downtown Apex. There are several restaurants on this one street and some fun antique shops as well. There is a cute pizza place and a Mexican restaurant as well. I asked Ayden what kind of food he wanted and he of course chose Mexican. It turned out that the place was another location of our favorite local chain called La Rancherita (by us it is called El Fogon, but used to be called La Rancherita). So of course, we knew the menu well and had our usuals. We spotted a cute little ice cream shop across the street and I, of course, couldn't resist. The kids found some cotton candy ice cream and Julio and I (I ate most of it) split a root beer float, one of our favorites. Of course, nothing beats a root beer float with Henry Weinhard's root beer, which we discovered during our days in Portland. I do miss some of those treats from Portland!
