Drove to Reed's Lake this afternoon. It is about 20 minutes away from us. (straight down Brenton Road, Mom) It was a really pretty lake with picnic tables & benches & tons of ducks. Shawn had a great time running around. The lake was beautiful. There is a small sailing school with the type of boats that Brad & I use to take out at Jolly Rodger. There is a neat restaurant that I want to take Mom & Dad to when they come. It sits right on Reed's Lake & it has a deck that you can eat at. It also has a take out restaurant in town. The menu for both is the same www.rosestakeout.com We then found ourselves about 5 minutes from that in a little area called Gaslight Village. The area was once a amusement park. There was an old fashion ice cream parlor called Jersey Junction that serves hand dipped ice cream, as well as sandwiches. They are open every night in the summer until 10pm, so we wil definitely go back there soon. Check it out at www.jerseyjuntion.com We are now headed out past Meijer on 28th street into the city of Cascade to find a Mom & Pop ice cream shop.
