Alps Explorer (AX)
Today, our Alps Explorers venture further through the Tour du Mont Blanc, and even with a little rain these hikers can’t seem to wipe the smiles off their faces! On day four of their trek, these valiant adventurers crossed 18 kilometers of rolling trails and meadows with views of the Aiguille de Bionassy and its glacier! Personally, I would say a classic green mint chip is in store for these mountain gallivanters for its cool creamy freshness and specks of chocolatey goodness. 
Colorado’s Rocky Mountains (CRM)
Out in Colorado, our CRM folks continue their exploration of Estes Park. These adventurers got up and at ‘em to ensure maximum time for fun on trail today. We can only imagine the games of contact and wavelength played as they meandered to breathtaking vistas! After an exciting day on trail, it feels only right for these intrepid travelers to sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cone of rocky road ice cream to commemorate their expedition!
Caribbean Service Virgin Islands (CSVI)
Down in the Virgin Islands, our tropical adventurers took to the water today! After a morning of fun, our CSVI friends boarded a boat and began their snorkeling expedition! I wonder how many unique fish they came across as they maneuvered through bright reefs and crystal clear waters. It also seems like Baskin Robbins made their ‘beach day’ ice cream just for days like this: a salted vanilla ice cream base swirled with chocolate caramel-filled turtles, colorful frosting flecks, and crushed graham crackers that look like sand. We can’t help but think about the salty water, vast wildlife, and sandy beaches with this representative sweet treat!
Dolomite Mountains & Croatian Coast (DMCC)
Across the pond in Croatia, our friends of DMCC woke up bright and early this morning to catch the sunrise by the coast! What an awesome way to start the day?! The fun doesn’t stop there though; the adventures continued with games of werewolf and exploration of Premantura before time to swim at the beach. Those coastal views seem like the perfect pair for a refreshing serving of lemon sorbet!
Europe Coast to Coast (ECC)
THEY DID IT!!! Our EEC folks arrived in Venice today after a final day of biking! Their smiling faces are fitting for their incredible achievement, and we couldn’t be more proud of all the hard work they’ve put in and how far they’ve come! All we can say is ‘Congratulazioni!’ At their final destination, a celebration ensued to commemorate their determination and the lifelong memories they’ve made! Gianduiotto, a Venetian classic treat of chocolate hazelnut gelato topped with whipped cream, seems like the perfect symbol for this festive day!
Northwest Mountains & Coast (NWMC)
After all the fun our friends out in the Pacific Northwest have had, sadly, the day has come to bid them farewell. While they will all be dearly missed, our adventurers travel home today with memories and new friends to last a lifetime! To celebrate the end of a fantastic trip, chocolate vanilla swirl soft serve with rainbow sprinkles ought to do!
Vermont to Montreal (VM)
Meanwhile, in Vermont, our bikers embark on their first full day of biking. After crushing 14 miles this morning, these travelers made it to camp with time to reap the rewards of their hard work. Pizza bagels for lunch, games of woosh, and swimming at the lakefront sound like pretty awesome ways to spend an afternoon to me! A little birdie told me there may even be a campfire this evening to round out this splendid day of adventure! As these bikers get acclimated to Vermont in the summer, it seems only fitting that they are given the Vermont-made Ben and Jerry’s classic flavor today- cherry garcia!
