make my day

Whoa, baby. Another reason to L*O*V*E this country.

Today was my birthday (happy 25th, old lady). We had a family celebration yesterday since Dad and brother weren't around today. But tonight my mom took me to this AMAZING place. Perhaps you have one of your own in your town, but it blew my socks off.

Ours is called Orange Tree.

You get to make your own frozen yogurt treat. It's incredible.

There are levers all along the wall with many different flavor options. You can pick as many as you want! Like a kid in a candy store, I was.

(this is Elyse, looking appropriately thrilled at the experience)

THEN you come to the toppings bar. Only this isn't behind glass, limited to the mood of your ice cream server. This is where you get to be as creative as you want.

There were plenty of yummy fruits and a bunch of tasty treats like cheesecake squares and cookie dough and reese's pieces . . . and chocolate and caramel sauce and cool whip, too!

So then you present your masterpiece and they weigh it up and charge you by the ounce.

GENIUS.

I loved it.
