I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!
With the weather warming up it’s almost ice cream time! One of our favorite things to do in the warmer months is to treat ourselves to one of Maine’s yummy ice cream spots. Not only is ice cream yummy and a great mood booster but its a fun thing to do with friends and family! Did you know Maine has a good amount of HOMEMADE ice cream spots? Here are a few that we enjoy:
