Ladies have you ever craved something so badly you ended up really over doing it? If so, read on and take comfort that your not the only one!
It started on our trip headed out toward Omaha, NE. Levi and I were trying to decide on a place to stop for the night during our drive out there and I really wanted to stop at the Iowa 80 truck stop. (For those of you who may not know, Iowa 80 is the largest truck stop in the US!)
Well Levi really prefered to drive farther than where the Iowa 80 truck stop was located, so he said not this time. Deciding that I didnt have anyting exciting to look forward to for the rest of the day I went to the back and took a long nap.
About two hours later or so Levi is waking me up telling me we are stoping for a bathroom break. So i spilled out of the truck with hair messy and sleepy eyes. I didnt care what i looked like...it was just a truck stop. Levi being the romantic he is takes my hand in his as we walk towards the entrance. I honestly didnt see the GIANT Iowa 80 sign right in front of my face, levi actually had to point it out! Boy did he surprise me! I was quickly awakened out of my sleepy state as i walked through the doors. For me it wasnt necessarily the truck stop that made me so happy, but my thoughtful husband who simply wanted to surprise me.
We walked around for awhile looking at all of the different truck parts as well as admiring the full sized semi's parked inside the truck stop for show. And that when we saw the small DQ sign calling our names.
Here is where the fun begins...I am craving chocolate. Not just something small or a chocolate bar, but really craving the stuff! So i get a chocolate dipped waffel cone with chocolate ice cream. And thats not all, i wanted more. So i kindly ask the lady taking our order if i can also have my cone dipped into that delicious chocolate syrup that hardens when it gts cold. BUT she says that they cant because it wasnt a menu item. Did that stop me? I think not! I simply asked for the delicious syrup in a side cup so i could put it on the cone myself.
