Rita's Rocks!

A new ice cream store opened in our tiny little hamlet. For us that is a wondrous event. It is an Italian ice/custard chain based in Philadelphia, Rita's. It just so happens we were in Philly not too long ago and we ate at Rita's so we were already familiar with their yumminess. All week long the Italian ice is free so I've been twice today. Passion Fruit the first time and Key Lime the second. Inga is lactose intolerant so having a place to get a treat she can actually eat is doubly exciting.

We stopped at Rita's after the meeting about a high school trip to London/Paris over Spring Break. None of Inga's buddies are going so I think she is going to pass and instead try to get accepted into the Japanese exchange program which is also over spring break. We had two kids from the program stay with us when Inga was in seventh grade. It would be great if she could see those same kids four years later. So many opportunities kids have today that never existed when I was in school!
