A Few of My Favorite Things This Summer...

Here's what I'm loving thus far this summer...

1. Italian Ices - I think having an Italian Ice instantly puts you in a good mood. Just finished a Pina Colada flavored one, and it was awesome. Try it. Find a Rita's near you.

2. Sunroofs - There is something refreshing about putting your sunroof down and feeling the breeze throughout your car. I always feel relaxed when I drive around this way.

3. Grilling - This is somewhat selfish of me - in addition to the flavor I also love grilling because it takes me off the hook from cooking. Now that I'm in my third trimester, I love this. :)

4. Red Box - If you haven't jumped on the bandwagon of this phenomenon, please do. You can rent movies for $1 a day. Donte, my friend, and I just watched "He's Just Not That Into You" the other night for next to nothing. (By the way, I thought this was a pretty good movie) We also used Red Box for Nerissa's birthday sleepover last month. Gone are the days of going broke over renting movies!

5. Evening Thunderstorms - Okay, so yesterday's thunderstorm was a bit scary, but there is something about a thunderstorm after a hot summer day that calms me. Nerissa says it makes the world smell like a rain forest. :)

I ♥ ♥ ♥ Rita's! The BEST is the flagship store in Leonardtown with the Clinton location a close second! :) They had one in Herndon but it wasn't so great- it never tasted as good as MD locations so they closed. Thankfully I still have my Robeks!

I love all of the above!! :-) We had Rita's EVERYWHERE back home (Phila., PA) so when I came here 2 years ago I was like, "HUH?? No Rita's?" LOL But I found some!!! And very few of the Rita's here in the DMV have pretzels which I wasn't used to.
