Our apple picking trip, which we had planned for last weekend, finally happened today. We woke up early and drove out to Gaithursburg, and after a long drive down a bumpy and hilly dirt road, we found the orchard:
I guess this is what the area looked like before they plopped D.C. down on top of it?
My outfit today:
Jeans: 7 for all man kind
Shoes: Toms knock-offs from a random shoe store in NYC
Cornflower blue t-shirt: $10 on sale at Nordstrom
Sweater: Top Shop
We grabbed some apples and followed the signs for raspberry picking. I didn't think October was raspberry season, but some of the raspberries on the bush weren't even ripe yet.
I was pretty happy to find them, especially since raspberries are the only fruit I can eat "raw". I normally only like fruit in the form of smoothies, juices and baked goods.
We stopped in the little barn/shop on our way out to pay, and picked up a few things in addition to our apples and berries.
Sweet potato chips, radishes, a spaghetti squash, a raspberry cheesecake brownie, two honey sticks, and our fruit. I definitely want to make those mini apple crisps again, and we already found a recipe for the spaghetti squash.
That's all for today - see ya tomorrow!
