Leaves, Pumpkins and Apples

Last weekend we took a ride up through the mountains for a few reasons, 1) to find a pumpkin patch, 2) to find an apple orchard and 3) look at the leaves changing color. We picked an absolutely beautiful day... We drove up through the Blue Ridge Parkway, it was breath taking -- YES the edge! Just kidden but that was too. The mountains, trees and all the beautiful colors was just delightful against the blue sky...













So, check, we completed so far one of three tasks at hand... now off we roll. As we continued to look for a pumpkin patch, which we never found. We stopped and shopped the Tanger Outlets in Blowing Rock and I at least was able to get this picture...

I apologize for the crappy photos, they were taken with the cell phone.

Alas, we did find an apple orchard, however the bees were so crazy McKinlee was freaking out so we did NOT pick our own but we did purchase fresh picked apples for baking and eating :)
