It's An Ice Cream World... - Finding Silver Pennies

and your in the middle of it!

Many of you know I really, really love ice cream. I think it is because it reminds me of being a little girl. Growing up I used to love visiting my dad at his work – Brigham’s Ice Cream. I used to love to help my dad and he’d always treat me to lunch and then an ice cream at the ice cream plant. That ice cream tastes so amazing – before it is hard packed.

I have a little love affair with Nona’s (in Scituate and Hingham) – I have told you on a number of occasions just how fabulous their ice cream is.

But before I knew about Nona’s, Luke and I loved Cabot’s in Newtonville. It is a fantastic diner style restaurant which does all day breakfasts, lunches and, of course, has a huge ice cream menu. At Cabot’s you are certainly in the Middle of an Ice Cream World! It is like walking right back to the 60s – with the red and white decor, swivel stools and glossy menus.

A Rootbeer Float to die for!

When John was just a twinkle in our eye we used to go there all the time. We lived just down the street. Then we celebrated our positive pregnancy test with dinner and a sundae at Cabot’s. We did the same thing with Conor (albeit after our first doctor’s appt as we were no longer just down the street).

So we thought it only fitting that we return with our boys to a restaurant that holds such special memories for us. John doesn’t remember going there. He was 18 months when we moved away from Newton to live near the sea. I think this was Conor’s first trip there. But this time we weren’t celebrating a positive pregnancy test – just enjoying a day out together. It was so fun to relive a bit of the past with them!
