Deals: Free Museum Days, Winter Break & More!

This past summer my daughter and I went on a tour of several of the Denver area ice cream shops. We did our own informal taste test of the best of the best of the local shops (no chains). I’m really excited to be going to Milkshake Lab tasting at Punchbowl Social in Stapleton. They will have Grasshopper (chocolate milkshake with mint syrup and brown bites), Big Debbie (Vanilla Milkshake with cream filling, cinnamon streusel, granola rim and oatmeal cream pie & ho-ho garnish), and Worms and Dirt. But more, they will have large shareable shakes with multiple straws. Follow my Insta (GeeWhy93) on Wednesday for more. While we are there we may check out the Camp Christmas.
