Buy Ice Cream Here.

We mentioned in the previous post that we're beginning a map of shame for gas stations who "don't have a bathroom." We figured it was only fair to give a pat on the back to those that do it well for families that are traveling across this great land of ours.

So we're starting a Thumbs Up Map. We'll update the Thumbs Up Map whenever we stumble across another great ice cream place, motel, restaurant, gas station, or any other place that makes family travel even better.

First Winner of a big Thumbs Up: Derosiers Market in Freeport, Maine. I've been getting ice cream here at Derosiers since I was about five years old. My Dad just kept stopping there. Guess what I'm doing every time I drive through Freeport?

Yup, stopping for ice cream at Derosiers.

This most recent trip, the gal scooping the scoops was smart enough to downsize the kid's scoop sizes, and nice enough to only charge us for one scoop. Because they were small scoops.

And she was a teenager! What gives?
