Blast from the past

As kids we didn't really eat out much, especially fast food restaurants, but I do remember going to Arctic Circle. They had the best ice cream cones for only a quarter (does this make me old?). Then in college, all the local Arctic Circle restaurants started disappearing. I remember my friend Bekki and I stocked up on their packets of fry sauce so we wouldn't go through withdrawls.

Then last week my brother told me that a new Arctic Circle just opened up on 162nd and Division!!! So last night I took the kids out for dinner and free ice cream cones. They had fun wearing their Incredibles masks and eating with their cousins. It was just like I remembered...only now they sell their fry sauce so you don't have to leave with a pocket full of packets!

Must...go...buy...fry...sauce....it is the best! Having a grandma that lived in Parkrose, we could have been in the same Artic Circle growning up on 122nd and not have known each other. Wouldn't it be great to go back through your life and see where you intersect with people you now know! hmmmmmm.
