Boo Hiss

We were planning on going to Baskin Robbins tonight for their 31 cent special. It was only for a small scoop, but you could get multiple scoops - up to 10! 10 scoops - who would eat that many? It was even going to be rather celebratory since the kids finished their spring testing today.* BR's website said the special was good from 5-10 pm. We even have a new BR near our house - all seemed perfect.

But then.... we headed out of the house a little before 8, only to discover the doors were locked when we got there. HUH? I looked at the sign on the door and they close at 8 pm. That just seems crazy! Maybe these are just their non-summer hours, but that seems way too early to stop serving ice cream.


*While its nice to celebrate the end of testing, the kids are actually a little sorry to see it end - because testing means no homework. A was lamenting the fact that he would have homework again next week after none last week or this week. On the other hand, since there are only 3.5 weeks of school left and they can't have homework the last week since the books are being collected, there are really only 2 weeks of homework left. Aiyeee - I'm not sure I'm ready for summer yet and its lack of schedules.
