Don't Forget the Milk Mystery Cache

A magnetic nano cache that is not at the published location. Solve the clues below to find it.
After a wonderful day of geocaching with my friend, Harris, we were driving back to my house. We had found three caches in one park and eight caches in another local park. Harris and I were discussing how absolutely excited we are about the open placement park list of the Fairfax County Park Authority. There must be around 50 parks on that list…
While we were driving, my Blackberry started to vibrate on my hip. Man, who is sending me an email late on a Saturday afternoon? Sigh…
I pulled my Blackberry off my hip and took a look. Here is what is said:

Honey,
On your way home, please pick up the following items:
Cantaloupe – 1

At this point, I was tired and hungry, but I love my wife and wanted to do my part to help (especially, since I was allowed to choose the ice cream).
Two minutes later, my Blackberry began vibrating again…

Honey,
Also, don’t forget the milk.
Love,
Your Loving Wife
I must admit that I let out an audible sigh at this point. Harris found this amusing and reminded me that we were teetering on the brink of euphoria moments earlier over the state of caching in Northern Virginia.
We arrived at the store. We bought all the items in the email, paid for them, walked to the car, unloaded the groceries, returned the cart, and drove home.
When we arrived at my house, Harris helped me take the groceries inside. When my wife emptied the bags, she looked at me and said, “You forgot the milk.”
