although this is not a travel or restaurant review blog per se, we often like to highlight some of our favorite places around our town. we have gotten a few questions on places to eat, date night spots and other family friendly things to around south florida. so, we are currently working on a “what to do in fl” page to add to the blog. until we finalize it, we’ve added a category titled when in FL leading to some of our favorite posts on what we like to do and go. 
jaxsons icecream is one of our go-to ice-cream spots to visit. they opened their doors in 1956 and have attracted thousands of people with their classic vive, eclectic look and outstanding ice-cream. a couple of weeks ago this pregnant lady was craving some ice-cream and we were also due for some quality time with ale’s parents. it worked out perfect. we hopped in the car together and zipped on over to dania beach. 
jaxsons is a full restaurant that also serves favorite classics like burgers and hot dogs (which is perfect for lunch after a incredibly sunny FL beach day). i love their crinkle fries that are probably fried to order because they’re always so fresh… and of course their milkshakes are outstanding. they also serve their famous kitchen sink it’s a ridiculous amount of ice-cream served in a sink… seriously. we’ve never had it before but we’ve seen it and it’s a beast!
the front of the restaurant has an old fashion candy and toy store making you feel like you’re back in the 50’s. it’s really cute and cozy AND they serve complimentary popcorn while you’re working on your order. that’s always a win in my book!
the entrance of the restaurant has a to-go window for people who just want a few scoops of their favorite ice-cream AND a tiny carousel for the little ones… can’t ask for much more.
^^also how cute is this little lady?!^^
(last year we made a quick stop by jaxsons while celebrating my birth week)
