Yesterday was Jessica’s birthday, and though we are saving the big festivities till Saturday (her graduation!!! Yes we will post on that too ;), we did celebrate a little bit that evening with opening presents, and…. A trip to our favorite, old-fashioned ice cream parlor!! And when I say old-fashioned, I mean old-fashioned! Right down to the dainty, eclectic metal serving bowls, marble tabletops & curly-cue chairs!
She’s been desiring to go here for her birthday ever since our first visit a few years ago, and now her little dream came true…. Vintage dressing up, Abbot and Costello watching in the car on the way there and back (yes, it is a bit of a drive…), and a little fashion shoot topped off the magical occasion 🙂
Here are some snap-shots we took with Mom’s iPhone whilst there…

| Dad’s sundae… Classic! |
 |
| Mom’s nutty, chocolatey goodness! |
 |
| looooove Abbot & Costello!! This one we were watching was “Hold That Ghost!” |
these snaps I edited in the new BeautifulMess app!
Happy (late) Birthday, Jess! God bless you with 100, no- 200 more years on this earth!! 🙂

05/19/2013 at 6:04 PMHappy birthday, Jess! What a yummy birthday outing. May is a fabulous month for a birthday (mine starts out the month, so I know whereof I speak ;). Love the vintage-inspired dress and wedges; well, all three of you are looking adorable in your retro ensembles and color-coordinated too. Delightful!
