South Dakota, Northern Spain, and Salted Caramel

 

It’s officially July, which has our DCS team (and our crew of strategic partners) thinking about summer plans. Specifically, we tasked everyone with two hard-hitting questions:

  • What are your vacation plans?

  • What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?

Ok, so it’s not exactly a bare-knuckle interview. But give us a break – it’s summer! 

And admit it: you’re a little curious about which of us is prepping for a multi-day train trip through the Canadian Rockies (it’s John).

So without further ado…



Eunice Agaba

Eunice is making the most of her vacation by visiting as many loved ones as she can fit in two weeks. She’s headed to the Childish Gambino concert in August with her younger brother. Her college best friend is coming to visit the ‘burgh for the very first time, and then she’s heading over to South Dakota to see her parents! 

Ice cream flavor: Salted caramel

Anna Havrilla

Anna took the last week of June and spent it in Omaha, Nebraska visiting family. Although she expected more corn and steak than she found (staying with a vegan and vegetarian really impacted the latter), she did learn there’s more sunshine in Omaha than should be legal and that Nebraskans are people that appreciate books, beers, caffeine, and pups! 

Ice cream flavor: a new favorite thanks to Omaha, Butterbrickle from Coneflower Creamery



Charlie Lotz

Charlie’s taking advantage of the whole “living in Spain” thing to road trip across the country, heading from his southern home base of Seville up to northwestern Galicia. That will include a stop in the Islas Cíes, a rocky archipelago with no houses, no roads, but plenty of pristine beaches and craggy mountains.

Ice cream flavor: chocolate chip cookie dough




John Denny

John’s going high altitude (and high latitude), rolling across Canada on the Rocky Mountaineer train from Calgary to Vancouver. Not too shabby when you’ve got Banff National Park just outside your window.

Ice cream flavor: black raspberry soft serve




Meg Snead

While John goes high, Meg goes low – to the Low Country in South Carolina, that is.

We can definitely think of worse ways to spend August than being surrounded by the best shrimp and grits on earth!

Ice cream flavor: chocolate peanut butter



Kelley Denny

Kelley is looking forward to a toes-in-the-water, feet-in-the-sand, classic Jersey Shore beach experience, a tradition of more than 20 years with friends who are now family. And her ice cream pick just so happens to line up with the destination! 

Ice cream flavor: coconut ice cream with chocolate sprinkles (and make that a large) at Springer’s in Stone Harbor



Donna Malpezzi

Donna’s keeping her summer plans classic – and her ice cream choice classy! Donna will be off to a family vacation at the beach.

Ice cream flavor: salted caramel







Wendi Thomas

Wendi’s vacation plans match up closely with Donna’s – visiting family in August – though her ice cream choice finds her heading in a different direction!

Ice cream flavor: a vanilla and chocolate chip Blizzard from Dairy Queen
