My travels this week took me to Williamsburg, Virginia, a city founded nearly 400 years ago that I had somehow never been to.

Williamsburg was capital of the Virginia Colony and later Commonwealth for more than eight decades, its land and residents playing important roles in the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, among other things over the past few centuries.

They also have an ice cream stand called Sno-to-Go, which puts all that history to shame.

If you’re ever in the neighborhood skip the monuments and historic reenactments and all that jazz and get you some Sno-to-Go. The hook? Shave ice and soft serve ice cream in the same delicious bowl.

Yeah, other places probably do it too but these guys do it right. They’ve got a million flavors of milkshakes and sno-cones or slushies or whatever you want to call them, thrown together by some evil genius to whom we should all pay tribute.

Peanut butter and jelly, mashed potatoes and gravy, Shaq and Kobe… shave ice and soft serve. No wonder people decided to settle here.
