Day 4 - Bite This!

Yay, our Fast Trak from San Diego also works up here! Heading west on the Oakland Bay Bridge...
We had to see this particular roadside attraction...

which was located in Burlingame right off the 101 freeway. Burlingame is also the home of the Museum of Pez Memorabilia (see my post from our visit in 2009), a must see if you're ever up in the area.

I'm such a sucker for roadside oddities. We couldn't miss seeing this.

Yeah, there you go!!! The Giant It's It Ice Cream Sandwich!

This wonderful example of consumer art can be found atop the It's It Ice Cream factory offices...

Bert remembers seeing it on the freeway during our last trip up to the Bay Area but we didn't know what it was.

It might not be a big deal for some but I totally dig stuff like this! Anyhow, that was our little stop before we headed down to Pebble Beach...

More info on It's It Ice Cream:

Official Company Website

My favorite It's It ice cream sandwich flavor is Cappuccino followed by the Vanilla. They also have Mint but I don't like the combo of Mint with their cookie flavors. If only their cookies were chocolate chip instead of oatmeal...

I love these things, so retro. I used to love seeing Bob's Big Boy.
