If you haven't figured it out, I'm a fanatic when it comes to old-fashioned dairy bars, which seem to be somewhat of a rarity these days. Any trip I plan, I try to include a stop at one of these institutions. Included below are some some of our stops at some pretty well known dairy bars.

1. Carl's Cream, Shakes, Sundaes (Located in Fredericksburg, VA, this place was highlighted in a 1990's PBS show on the history of ice cream. Visited during Summer Adventure to Washington DC, Nationals Baseball and Boy Scout Jamboree - 2010
2. Ted Drewe's Frozen Concrete (You don't go to St. Louis, MO without a visit to this long time local tradition!) Visited during Summer Adventure to St. Louis, MO (St. Louis Cardinals Baseball and Six-Flags Over Mid-America)
3. Waterwheel Homemade Ice Cream, 1804 South Wilson Dam Road, Muscle Shoals, AL. This was the perfect lunch stop on our way to North Carolina. Ice Cream made the "old-fashioned" way!
4. Sweet Tooth, Cherokee County Murphy, NC. Visited during Summer Adventure to Andrews, NC for Whitewater Rafting/Joyce Kilmer Hiking/Disc Golf/Swimming.
5. Kream Kastle Drive Inn, Located at 15922 Highway 70 in Benton, AR. Visited during August Campout on way to Lake Ouachita.
6. The Dip, aka The Velvet Cream. Located in Hernando, Miss. Visited after the Seige of Currier weekend in December 2012. 
7. Bulldog Drive-In, located in Bald Knob, Arkansas - January 2014. Perfect stop after hiking near Blanchard Springs/Gunner Pool/Barkshed on the N. Sylamore Creek Trail
