The owners say they get their ice cream from Hillsborough which makes it extra good.<br /><br />One of the most memorable dates I ever had with my husband took place over a series of months. No, I am not kidding. <br /><br />First he surprised me with Opera Tickets at dinner one evening in December, then in January it was ice cream and a trip to the store where I purchased my wedding gown to buy me an elegant gown. Two months later, he guided me around DC to a swanky restaurant, soft piano playing in the background before racing to the Kennedy Center where he whispered he loved me and kissed my hand right before La Traviata began at the Kennedy Center. <br /><br />Did I mention that were newlyweds, still in college and he'd worked extra hours just to do all this!<br /> <br />Did I mention that he still makes me swoon? hehe ;P<br /><br />MarquitaMarquita Valentinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433121436276975379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-20043670191947879652010-06-08T20:18:51.316-04:002010-06-08T20:18:51.316-04:00Wildebeest must run in the family, Kara ;) I hope...Wildebeest must run in the family, Kara ;) I hope you can visit some of these places with me some time!Erin Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09368123673970225476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-66375920043812932992010-06-08T15:26:16.209-04:002010-06-08T15:26:16.209-04:00Thank you for the glorious descriptions of your pe...Thank you for the glorious descriptions of your perfect day...I almost felt like I was right there with you!

You do mean with my hubby, right? ;) Just kidding. <br /><br />It's hard for me to say. I enjoy my husband so much every day. Well, some days a little less than others, but mostly he is just a delightful person to be around. I can have as much fun with him on a trip to Farm and Fleet as Hawaii. However, a trip to the islands was a great way to celebrate an anniversary. We're into double digits, so I can't recall which anniversary it was now. The best part is we rented a motorcylce and toured the island ourselves.samantha@samanthagraceauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043060709341696044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-76827006717961971352010-06-08T14:43:49.979-04:002010-06-08T14:43:49.979-04:00Kirk,

Yes I married a southern boy and he likes guns. I found I liked a glock and I didn't do too badly shooting - so we had a good time. We had hamburgers for dinner.<br /><br />Just to show that my hubby has some class, last year we had dinner at Flemings ( http://www.flemingssteakhouse.com/locations/nc/raleigh/ ) and we received an extra treat when Dan, the owner of Cloos Coney Island - a hamburger joint near NC State that we have been going to for twenty years, bought us dessert. <br /><br />Glad you had a good time eating the awesome food here. That chocolate store seems interesting. Wonder if we could setup a tour of all the dessert places in Raleigh/Cary.....Beth Caudillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07822034586213938181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5071542331530983118.post-54865088862554259632010-06-08T09:04:45.520-04:002010-06-08T09:04:45.520-04:00Haha, Catherine!
