I wanted to share with you all the fun we had earlier this month when we went apple picking at Cater's Mountain in Charlottesville, VA. We had never done this before, even though several friends had been telling about it for years. The day was beautiful and after a really windy, narrow drive up the mountain, we arrived to a spectacular view at the top. They had almost every variety of apples to pick and had several barrels full to just purchase if you wanted. Of course, we wanted to pick. We enjoyed trying Jonagold apples, which became the favorite of the day, with Sam eating 4 of them!!! We also picked Red Delicious. We enjoyed warm cider doughnuts (so yummy!!), a hayride, and climbing the trees in the orchard as well.
After the apple picking, we went to a park at the bottom of the mountain to hike through the wood on a little nature walk and then into downtown Charlottesville to the Marketplace, where we walked around and got some ice cream. what a fun day!
