Stopped by Carolina Cones on my way home from the Y (shhhhhh don't tell!). Actually, I purchased ice cream for the little one but I did have a taste. She had a cotton candy and oreo cone in a cup. Needless to say, she was excited. I tasted the cotton candy and yes, it tasted like the gooey treat you often get at Carowinds or a street fair. It was pretty tasty. I will have to make a special trip to Carolina Cones when I am not visiting the gym. The place has plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. I suppose on a weekend evening, it may get pretty crowded.
