Happy National Ice Cream Day! The best way to celebrate is by eating some ice cream. Our favorite local store in Gaithersburg is Bruster’s Ice Cream off of Frederick Road. Bruster's is nearby and has been the setting of several family celebrations: the first day of school, the last day of school, birthdays, anniversaries, and just because it is on the way home.

Just recently, Bruster’s was the backdrop for a time of community building when thunder canceled a recent Wednesday night swim meet. Our local summer team did an impromptu meet-up for a cool treat and laughter. Of course, nothing beats a 90+ degree day better than an ice cream cone with 50 of your closest summer swimming friends.
Maryland Ice Cream Trail
Did you know that Maryland has an Ice Cream Trail? If you wanted to expand your experience with the best of the best of fresh ice cream made on-site, you might want to consider taking a road trip on Maryland’s Ice Cream Trail. The trail consists of 10 on farm creameries across the state of Maryland, stretching 290 miles. These creameries offer ice cream from cow to cone.

The trail stretches between Washington County in the west to Worcester County in the east. After the pandemic last year, this is one road trip I look forward to taking this year with my family. Visiting all ten creameries is definitely on my Summer Bucket List.
In its ninth year, the trail highlights Maryland’s dairy industry, the public’s understanding of dairy farming, and the essential contributions of Maryland’s 325 dairy farms.
