So there's a restaurant chain based in Oregon called Burgerville. I go every Christmas when I go shopping in Portland with Michelle. They have a few locations in WA too and besides pretty good burgers, they have awesome milkshakes. In December, they have these babies as their flavors of the month:
The chocolate peppermint is awesome. It's basically a chocolate shake with crushed candy cane mixed in and it's amazingly yummy. My friend Laura and I had talked about making the little over an hour long drive to the nearest location and during my break, we did it.
Don't these look so yummy? Well, they were - except this location doesn't put enough peppermint candy in theirs. You gotta mix it all the way through, not just sprinkle on top, if you're making these at home.
Laura went to school with my younger sister so we've known each other forever. She replaced me as assistant camp director last year and I seriously couldn't have been happier to turn the reins over to her. She is amazing at it and is always so kind whenever I excitedly offer my opinions on how I did things when I had that calling. She has never once made me feel bad about my know-it-all-ness and for that I am so grateful. We had the best time talking during our drive and I can't wait until our next adventure.

You have to try their hazelnut shakes...they are pretty much the best thing...ever. Next time you are here in the great NW I will take you out. My treat!
Ok, so I am an idiot. I didn't realize you lived in WA. So, the next time you are in OR I will take you for a treat...sheesh.
Those looks SO good! Yum! Maybe we can make some over here someday. I thought you "crazy" to drive so far, but I understand it's more about the adventure, company (catching up/visiting) AND the yummiest shakes! haha
