Life is Short, Eat Dessert First …

at Sloan’s Ice Cream Shop in Fort Lauderdale, FL

IMG_3878

I head down to Fort Lauderdale at least once a year to see my family.  I grew up there and my Dad, sisters, and nephews & nieces all live there still. I spend every other Christmas there, but try to get there at least once a year in April (my birthday month).

IMG_3874

One tradition that we’ve started doing the last few years is that I pick these two sweet faces up from school and we go for ice cream. I decided I wanted to find a unique ice cream shop this past visit and totally succeeded.  I tried to tell them we were going to go eat a brussel sprout sundae but they knew better.

IMG_3875

I found Sloan’s Ice Cream on google and decided we’d try it out.  It was bright and fun on the outside, but I was not prepared for the awesomeness in store for me behind the front door.

IMG_3901

I’m not sure who’s eyes were wider with excitement – the kids or mine.  The whole shop is bright and colorful.  They had a running train in front of the ice cream selection that went back and forth. The chandeliers were so fun!

IMG_3909

Across from the ice cream and fudge there was a whole wall filled with novelties and toys. I let the kids each pick one item. I figured Kels would choose an adorable doll or stuffed animal. No, both she and Brad chose a camera that shot water when you took someone’s pictures. No one can tell me we’re not related. 😉

So, you’re probably wondering about the ice cream by now. It was absolutely delicious! I had warm apple pie and it was amazing!

Brad and Kels ordered the same – Vanilla topped with gummy bears and m&m’s.  They both really enjoyed theirs and told me we should come here all the time.

Kelsey asked to use the bathroom before we left and that’s the bathroom behind her – the room you can totally see into.  Turns out that changes when you lock the door.

Of course, I had to take a video. The decor of the bathroom totally matches the rest of the store.  After learning about the bathroom Bradley had to use it half a dozen times before we left.

Another great feature of this location (they have 7) is that it’s a short walk from the beach.  It’s just 2 blocks away.

You can get your ice cream and enjoy it at the beach.

    This place looks amazing! We vacation to Panama City Beach, Fl., at least once every couple of years. I love it there. So nice and warm and they always have the coolest ice cream shops. My boys would love this place!
