CATCH FLIGHTS NOT FEELINGS

We Adore the Ice Cream Flights in Warren at this Sweet Pop-Up

Catch Flights, Not Feelings

Ice Cream Flights, that is…

Okay, I knew that The Wright Scoop had an adorable airstream style trailer on the waterfront in Warren (right near Blount’s Clam Shack, another must visit) but had no clue that they offered minis and ICE CREAM FLIGHTS

Now, that’s my kinda flight, lol, especially during the summer months. (Can’t think of a better time to treat myself to the best of what Rhode Island has to offer as far as ice cream and such.)

We were there the other day and it was busy, so many folks lined up for cones or sundaes.

And the views of the water are fab!

Then I spotted their menu and realized I could dip into 4 flavors without having to order 4 ginormous servings. What a plus!

This would also be perfect for the kiddos

or to split with your significant other.

Their menu has a ton of flavors to choose from, too, including Classics (coffee, vanilla, chocolate), Rotating Flavors like Nutella and Oreo Cheesecake (updated monthly), and Limited Batch like Raspberry Ripple and Peppermint (available for a short period of time).

I had a tough time deciding on my four, finally going with the Unicorn (a funtastic vanilla with Funfetti cookie pieces, sprinkles and purple swirls), Strawberry Sorbet (a cool berry breeze on a humid August day), Coffee Oatmeal Cookie (a yummy i.c. from the rotating list), and Vanilla (a cool classic).

If you’ve never been, then a little Rhode trip this month is just the thing to brighten your day.

PS — They are seasonal, so I am guessing that they are there until September only? You may want to inquire for a specific end date when you go.

Find The Wright Scoop at 355 Water Street in Warren, Rhode Island.

As always, if you go after reading THIS, please let them know you were inspired by Patty J and PattyJ.com.

HOUSE OF THE MONTH

Here it is, a brand-new house on Block Island! Custom design by Meridian Homes with intended style, sitting on 2.79 acres offering a central, yet sheltered, Block Island Location. The main house has a serene and peaceful setting, with a slightly minimalist-modern Scandinavian sensibility, and includes a cathedral ceiling with clad custom beams and features a gas fireplace. The open floor plan of the main house highlights the living, kitchen, and dining area on the second floor maximizing the views of the ocean, landscaped grounds, and the neighboring hillside. An adjacent sunroom with a double barn door provides a-vacation-must-have, separate sitting-reading-office area.

All three bedrooms in the main house are thoughtfully designed each with their own, exclusive, custom baths. The finely designed kitchen with all luxury features displays a solid surface quartz counter and a custom wood waterfall counter. Appreciate the ocean views and Block Island’s spectacular evening sunsets on the IPE deck with cable railing. Guest house provides a private living space separate from the main house and includes cathedral ceiling, large windows for natural light, custom built-in beverage/refrigerator station, and a stone patio to enjoy this relaxed Block Island location. This is a must-see home; it is essential to be present to recognize all that it offers. Approvals for pool and Meridian Homes will manage the build upon request. Furnishings included.
