This weekend will be another scorcher, so here’s a DARTable Staycation idea to keep you cool – ice cream!
Thanks to President Reagan, we celebrate National Ice Cream Day every third Sunday in July, which means it falls on July 16 this year.
Celebrate this delicious holiday all weekend by visiting one – or more – of these DARTable ice cream, gelato, or frozen yogurt destinations.
