For this year’s apple picking, we went back to Barton Orchards, the very first farm we went to for apple picking years ago. Aside from picking your own fruits or veggies or even flowers, they have a corn maze, what they call a “theme park”, farm animals, gem mining, a market, food stalls and even live music.
For years, our favorite apple has been the Jona Mac. This year we discovered Ginger Gold. WOW! From now on, we’ll be going apple picking early September so that we can pick these beauties. They ripen early in the season.
We went to the corn maze, our 3rd maze. The first maze we went to was in Hawaii at the Dole plantation. The second was in Luray, VA. This maze was HUGE! It took us about an hour before we found the exit and that’s only because we didn’t bother looking for the stations in the challenge anymore =P If we wanted to finish the challenge, it would have taken us much longer. But the ground was muddy coz of the rains, and we were tired from walking and going around in circles … hehehe. But even if we did kinda rush towards the end, we only missed 3 stations in the challenge. Not bad at all.
After the maze we had lunch there, then went home. It started raining again as soon as we got in the car. Good thing our rain repellent is still working (~_^)
