Let me start by saying, I love astronaut ice cream hard! I’ve been obsessed with it since early childhood and, now that I’m an adult, (debatable) I buy it whenever I see it somewhere. When I was newly pregnant with my third kid, I craved it pretty consistently. I’m not proud to admit that I dragged my then two and four year old to visit the Virginia Aviation Museum more than three times that summer simply because they sold that liquid gold! Why I didn’t just order it on Amazon, you ask? God knows what was going on in that pregnant brain of mine. The kids did get to sit in an awesome antique plane, so it wasn’t a total loss for them.
Anyway, fast forward to three years later where I continue to shame my family. Today, I have not only decided to eat the 6 month old astronaut ice cream that I bought for my kids for Hanukkah as part of an ice cream themed night, I have just actively hid it from my son’s view when he went to look for a dessert after dinner. Yes, that’s right. If you’re feeling bad about your abilities as a parent tonight, at least you’re not hiding and later stealing a present from your kids that you bought! I may not be mother of the year today, but I gets my astronaut ice cream! My precious……

Side Note: The Virginia Aviation Museum closed in June 2016. You’ll have to have your astronaut ice cream needs fulfilled elsewhere.
