A reminder of home

We stopped in Owatonna, about 45 minutes from home not long ago and decided to stretch our legs. Shawn asked a friend where a good place to get ice cream was and she immediately responded w/o hesitation "Blast". So we went to Blast knowing that we'd get great ice cream, and were excited to find a reminder of home. Blast is an old fashioned order outside ice cream stand. Like Kimballs and Dairy

Joy, you order your food at 1 window and pick up at the other. The ice creams were HUGE (Em is about 1/3 of the way through a small in the pic above) and really cheap (less than $10 for all of us including a tip) and well worth it. We hope to go back one day this spring and enjoy pizza in the parlor above, take a nice stroll and the beautiful trail, and then finish it all off with some great ice cream.
