Trivia Today - Wednesday, July 23, 2014
Greetings Infomaniacs, I knew there were many reasons why I like the month of July. I've just discovered another one - July is National Ice Cream Month! Plus, this past Sunday was National Ice Cream Day.
My cousin and I celebrated by visiting our favorite ice cream shop and getting some soft serve ice cream. It was a beautiful evening to take a stroll and enjoy a delicious twist cone!
Enjoy!
