Two Scoops: Ice Scream on the North End of Anna Maria

| bobyechasey

Took the trolley to the north end of the Island this past weekend and went to Two Scoops–at the shopping center on the corner of Pine Avenue (which is coming along nicely) and Bay Blvd. Always fun to have the grandkids out here, enjoying the island that I love so much. Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:

What kid doesn't like ice cream?
Or candy...?
We always have a good time.
