We stood inside the house, uncomfortable and sweaty while watching the heat radiate off the sidewalk. The air is so thick and heavy that it reminds me of a trip we took toΒ Florida. This weather is not normal for where we live and I couldn’t stand it any longer so we loaded into the car, on our way to Santa Cruz for some good old fashioned Mariannes Ice Cream. Aiden chose a chocolate cone and I had to fight SΓΈren for bites of a scoop of peach that we were meant to share. It made for a nice little field trip to escape the heat and the ice cream there is always delicious.

That peach ice cream looks wonderful. I live in southern california and it has been SO muggy and hot this summer I am literally living at the pool daily! (At least were kinda tan this year!) My son is not the best with sharing anything sweet. its always a fight. LOL
Going out for ice cream is one of my favorite things ever! Your pictures are so fun.
I adore old-fashioned ice cream shops! They always remind me trips I used to take with the family to southern Iowa, where everything was old, but well-kept, and of course, full of great memories. Those hats, by the way, freaking precious!
Look like a such lovely lovely place to be!

I am madly in love with the hats!!
That ice cream looks delicious! Really cute pictures.
Oh, I love it! Definitely one good thing about hot days… ice cream dates! π
Ohhh ice cream… I do miss out on it by being vegan but thank god for the dairy free alternatives!! I just wish ice cream shops had them so that I could enjoy going out to get ice cream :/
Oh and you take such amazing pictures!!
I remember having ice cream here on our Road Trip in 2011, when we visited CA for the first time. Our motel was just across the street and I was craving something sweet. π
Ok so I’m now having craving cravings for ice cream…yum!
I love how you told a sweet story through these pictures. We don’t have any stellar ice cream places where I live. Maybe one day I’ll open one?
Just kidding.
Then I’d have to share.
Gorgeous photos! Who doesn’t love ice cream?! It’s such a small event, but it always is memorable! I still remember all the trips to have ice cream! <3
I don’t blame you for hitting up the ice cream shop! It looks like you all had a great time there!

Yes, always! Especially after a beach trip. They have another smaller location too.
I love ice cream, peachy flavour comes close to my fun favourites: vanilla, strawberr and all other berry flavours
I love these photos! This ice cream shop is absolutely adorable and makes for the perfect backdrop!
