A day out in Birmingham

So I have to just tell you about my day. To avoid another boding day inside, Mom-To-Be and Dad-To-Be dragged The Other Half and I out into the sunshine for a full day of things to do, see, taste and experience.

Our first experience was Yogurt Mountain. Now if I can even try and explain the joy of this place it would not do justice. So I will describe every step… you walk in, pick up a rather large tub and proceed to the frozen yogurt wall. Yes wall. With a choice of probably ten or more flavors from chocolate and vanilla to cheesecake, peanut butter, cookies and cream, cake batter and so much more you help yourself to as much as you like of anything you like. You mix and pick and choose to your hearts delight.

But it does not stop there, you then move to the toppings wall – yes another wall – this time filled with every ice cream topping you can think of. From chopped up chocolates to M&M’s, Reece’s, cereal, fruit and ht fudge. Again – take as much as you want of whatever you want. The outcome is a bowl full of goodness exactly as you like it. You pay by weight but that’s beside the point, you can still create your own ice cream masterpiece. And the best part – the frozen yogurt is fat free!

From there we proceeded to drive around Birmingham, looking at houses that we hope to one day be able to afford and some that we know we will never be able to afford but its good to dream. We found mansions on top of hills and castles in the trees.

We ended the day with more great food at Full Moon barbecue where we could not possibly eat all the delicious onion rings.

Full of fun, full of laughs and adventure, truly a great day. It just shows that you don’t have to venture too far to discover new things – most of the time you do not even know what is in your own town.
