Rickabodcranes daily travels

A few years ago my wife and her mom took a road trip to Florida. Both of them love ice cream and on there way through South Carolina they stumbled across a goldmine that they had never heard of...Cold Stone Creamery and so the story begins... Move forward about a year and we are on one of our joy rides to no-where south of Boston heading towards...we had no idea. I took one of the Hingham exits to get gas and there was a mall there that looked interesting and we decided to take a look. As we were driving about my wife saw what she had seen on her trip before...Cold Stone Creamery "We have to go to this place" She harped.

Anyway, our journey continues to find the best foods in New England and the world.
