Instagramming the Chocolate Tour

On Sunday afternoon, after baptizing five beautiful little babies, I ran out to do the Main Street chocolate tour! I Instagrammed my way from store to store, savoring the variety of chocolate offerings and getting heart stickers, signatures, and fancy checkmarks on my chocolate tour map. I didn’t win the gift certificate, but I had a great time!

Eco Boutique was giving cookies
Toodleloos had chocolate covered pretzels!
The Village Silversmith gave out little velvet bags with chocolate hearts!
The G33K store had “healthy” chocolates (no high fructose corn syrup, etc.)!
Chocolate chip cookies at Local Colors
Harbor Gifts had bags of dark chocolate
Island Art and Hobby had pretzels dipped in chocolate and coconut!
Little cookies at Mark Adrian Shoes
Cookies at Palazola’s!
Hot chocolate with peppermint Schnapps at Fred Bodin’s Historic Photo and Fine Art – scrumptious!

Don’t miss the next one!
