Fentons: It's as good as you remember

One of the special things we would do when I was a kid is go out for ice cream at Fentons.

This was no ordinary, grocery store ice cream. This was AMAZING ice cream. This was "skip dinner, we're going to Fentons for dessert" ice cream. Well, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

The infamous "Black and Tan" sundae. Don't you wish you were there?

I wish I was there again. Right now.

Brent had a delicious brownie sundae. Brownies...ice cream...yummm

Nate enjoyed a sundae. Small steps, my son. You will graduate to the Black and Tan someday.

Sarah somehow talked us into TWO kids scoops!

Allison was excited about the cookie...

...and then not excited about her choice in ice cream flavor. Typical. We tried sharing what we had and offered ordering a new scoop, but nothing would tame the beast. Exactly the reaction you want when you spend $3.50 on a kids scoop!

Fentons. Can't wait to go back.

we went to fentons two years ago, and it was JUST as good as i remembered it too. i didn't see our old house, walnut creek, or anything else from my childhood...but i insisted on fentons.
