A Whole New World


I broke out in song in my heart this afternoon, "A whole new world...."

After picking strawberries at the patch with my family we stopped at Rita's on the way back home.  Today I experienced something that made my taste buds dance with joy and celebration, it was as if a thousand flavor angels were dancing on my tongue.

A gelati!  Fat free frozen yogurt with Mango Italian ice then topped with more fat free frozen vanilla yogurt.  It was the bomb diggity!  If flavor was a school bus I was the bus driver taking the family onto funky flavor town.

Tricia loves Ritas! Where was this?

It is in the space that used to be the movie theatre in Southern Shores. There is a Rita's now open and a Starbucks under construction.
The are also putting in a Rita's next to Slice (new NY pizza place) at mp8.5 near the Brewing Station in some new shops there.

Tell Tricia when you all come back a trip to Rita's on me!

CFHusband said...

Tricia will be extremely excited...

So I know you have no idea who I am. I have been paying attention to Nate and Tricia's story and periodically check some of his family's sites to see how you all are doing. I must admit you all are a wonderful family and I have enjoyed all your words of wisdom.

That being said, I am so extremely jealous that you have a Rita's. My brother and his family used to live in PA and took me to Rita's when I would come visit and I love their giliaties. Those are my all time favorites.

Unfortunately my brother and his family moved to New Zealand so now no more Rita's for me. My husband actually was thinking about trying to open one up here in Indiana where we are at, but they are not ready to move this far East. Such a bummer.

Today I crave the mango. I also look forward to the coconut when they crank that out.

I come to your site via Nate and Tricia's. They don't know me either but I'm very addicted to their story. Your families are awesome!

I had to post because of the Rita's! YUMMY!!! I live in Jax, FL and we love going to Rita's at the beach!

Take care!
