The pics from the weekend trip to Delaware are up here.
We hadn’t trained enough recently to do the bike ride, so we drove out instead.
The weekend was great. We visited the Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, ate at the Stoney Lonen Pub, and Jon and Sarah even got a new kayak.

My biggest weakness/vice is ice cream. Not the best thing for you, but hey - that’s why it’s a vice :-)
Saturday I discovered one of the best ice cream places I’ve been to yet:
York Castle Ice cream in Washington, DC.
They don’t seem to have a webpage, but there’s some information here and here.

I went specifically for the Guinness ice cream, and it was really good. Then I had the Mango and it was even better! To top it off we got pints of mango, banana and passion fruit to go so we could enjoy them during half-time over a game of Liverpool. The crowd favorite was the passion fruit flavor which was very fresh with a nice citrus flavor coupled with a very creamy texture.
I’ll definitely be going back!

In other (possibly related) news, I picked up a pair of Brooks Beast running shoes yesterday. Ran 2 1/2 miles in them this morning and they felt great. Excellent way to start working off all that ice cream yesterday.

There are full pics up here from last night’s ARS meet. It was a lot of fun. The venue changed somewhat as we originally planned to go to the RFD, but one of us was underage so we went to the Hooters across the street for dinner instead, and then went to the chophouse to hang out in the lounge and conversate.
Made for a fun evening, but I didn’t get home until after 2, so I only got 5 hours sleep. I’m gonna sleep well tonight!
