Pitstop in Monona

Beth and I went for a nice roller blade around Monona today. It was a lot of fun and one of my favorite things to do with Beth when its nice out because we get to talk and 'blade' at the same time. We start out a Olin Turville park and head Northwest initially. The trip takes us ~1.5 hrs at a semi leisurely pace but this time we were help up by a fantastic little ice-cream shop in Monona that the owner runs out of his/her house. It looks like the garage and another small room have been sacrificed to the project and there is an additional sun-patio overlooking the lake. We of course had to go with the world famous Babcock ice cream, Chocolate peanut butter, and also had some French fries. When we stepped in I was immediately reminded of the little restaurants in the movie Pleasantville and of the Little League (baseball) candy stand. They had a lot of my childhood favorites like atomic fireballs, lemonheads, airheads, etc. I would highly recommend a stop if you are strolling, blading, or biking in this area and are in need of some delicious ice cream, soda, or other treats. Goodeats!


PS: they have a long standing policy of refilling your root bear float with more root bear should you need more :)
