B is for Blue Bell in Brenham, TX

"Blue Bell... the best Ice cream in the country"... is the song stuck in your head now? We took a small trip at the beginning of the summer. On our way home we took a detour to Brenham, Texas home of Blue Bell Ice Creamery.

 I've grown up on Blue Bell Ice Cream... as most of us have growing up in Texas. Is there really anything better than "Homemade Vanilla"? That's their number one flavor - by the way.  Second is "Cookies and Cream"... of course!

The tour was educational and we were amazed at how small the creamery was given how much ice cream is made every day. No photography was allowed during the tour... perhaps one might capture secrets of the flavors to the yummy bites of creamy goodness - who knows. But we still enjoyed the tour, learning how the ice cream is made and it's history. Our favorite part was sampling ice cream at the end.... what a great ending!

And I was delighted to find a Blue Bell thimble for our collection... they even placed it in a little ice cream container... good memories!
