This morning as we left our hotel we saw this cool thing where part of the Civil War had happened.
On the freeway we saw a sign advertising a place with over a million ICEE combos, and knew we had to check it out.
There were 20 different flavors!
I stayed with a pretty normal combo, Dr. Pepper and Cherry.
Lauren went with blue raspberry, watermelon, grape, and green apple!
This is something you don't see back home. They had two pumps (so four gas spouts) that people could park next to and pump their gas while they went into the store, so that way once it finished pumping, if they weren't done inside they weren't blocking all the other pumps.
One of our main stops for the day was at Casey Jones, which was a place significant to my parents. Several years ago (pre-kid days), they moved cross country from Oregon to Maine, and on the way they stopped for lunch at this place. They had shipped my mom's car ahead of time, and the company was supposed to only charge their card half the amount, and my parents planned to pay the rest in cash later when they picked up the car in New Jersey. Fast forward to the restaurant and they went to pay for their $12 meal and the company had charged the full amount which meant their account had been drained. Thankfully it all got sorted out.

They had candy cigarettes which we tried because in 2011 when we were in Florida we tried bubble gum cigars.

There was an ice cream shop inside the museum, so I got Spark flavored which was french vanilla dyed to the Walmart colors.
