An ice cream festival in North Park sounds like the absolute best way to spend a weekend! San Diego has such a killer food scene, and honestly, a dedicated event for local scoops is long overdue. I’ve been trying to clear my schedule so I can make it down there to try as many flavors as possible.
I was actually just on the phone looking for a copa airlines phone number to see if I could move a flight around, because there’s no way I want to miss out on this. Hopefully, I can get everything sorted in time to grab a cone (or three) and enjoy the sunshine. Thanks for the heads up on this!
