The winner of what, you may ask. My quest to obtain a Tagalong Blizzard (pictured below)!! You might remember my disappointment when after a day long trip from Memphis to Mobile, the Mobile Dairy Queen was out of Tagalong cookies! Oh, the agony!
Well, I thought my luck was changing when we returned to Memphis to pack the remainder of our things for Mobile. The little ones stayed on the river with Nana and Papa, so Matt and I took advantage of a night to ourselves and went to the movies (For the first time in a VERY LONG time I might add. So long that neither of us can remember the last movie we saw together!). The movie finished up at 9:30 p.m., so we made a plan to rush out of the movie and swing by the Dairy Queen that closed at 10:00 p.m.
Long story short, we made it in time! We were at the drive through at 9:45 p.m. only to be told, you guessed it, "Sorry, but we are out of Tagalong cookies." Are there not any Girl Scouts on call this late at night???
After our second trip to Mobile, we headed to Camden to pick up the kids and reach our final destination--Birmingham. It was 10:30 a.m. in the morning and we had just enjoyed a very filling breakfast in Mobile just an hour or so earlier, but I knew a Dairy Queen was coming up. Needless to say, Matt agreed to eat ice cream that early and I knew I was willing, so we took our chances.
We were a bit hesitant to ask but were able to let out a sigh of relief when the girl behind the counter simply nodded and started making up the blizzard. FINALLY! Yes, it was yummy (and worth the wait), but we concluded a butterfinger would have had the same taste results.
Needless to say, if you would like to enjoy this month's "Blizzard of the Month"--Thin Mint Cookie--I would go now before they run out of cookies:)
