Let's talk a walk and check out the apple festival.
Apple Festival 2024
Apple Festival 2024
This is another tradition we have done for years. It started when my kids were young, we went through taking our nieces and nephews, my grandson, and now grandson and wife. Hopefully we can take our great-great grandchildren there next - lol
We always start the day with lunch - usually at Poole's Barbeque. The Pink Pig. There are tons of barbeque places there.
We decided on a restaurant that was not barbeque and we were so glad - it was wonderful, unique, and delicious.

If anyone lives around here or can get to it in Blue Ridge - GO!

SOMETHING TO SMILE ABOUT:
HELPFUL HINT:
Keep brown sugar soft by storing with a couple of marshmallows.

What a beautiful place! Those aerial shots are just gorgeous. It looks like a fun day.
We have a lot of orchards around us and have done this kind of thing before. After seeing this, I think we need to do it again.
Good for you for making progress on the diet. It's a life long thing!
How wonderful!!! Such great beauty and so much FUN!! Love seeing you and the family in that giant chair!
I would love to visit there and to eat all or any of the food you had. a great family tradition. I am wondering how close you are to Blue Ridge, my son and his wife live in Copper Hill, TN, which is walking distant from Blue Ridge to their little town.
Me, too! Visit there, I mean. I've never had a fish taco; are they good? Thanks for the tip about putting marshmallows in brown sugar. I can't tell you how many half bags I've tossed in the trash over the years.
That orchard looks amazing! I think my sister has an orchard visit planned for next week when I am there. I really miss apple orchards and look forward to a crisp cortland (my favorite)!!
I would love to go there, especially the restaurants and shopping! I love you guys in the big chair! How did you even get up there? Do you still go every year?
I would love to walk in your area. I grew in the Midwest, Dad was a farmer. There was an apple barn about 15 miles from us, Ackel' s produce store, which now has a restaurant. You can find it at Pittsfield, IL
Such lovely photos I liked them
Gosh, what a gorgeous place! I oohhhed and awwwed at the apple tree. So lovely. Now I want to take a short vacation to visit. It keeps raining here in SE Georgia. I'm not complaining but it does put a damper on working outside.
Sorry Grandson was not feeling well. Hope he's better today. Bless his heart. 💙
What a fun time at the apple festival. Looks like there was a lot of nature around you while you sat and ate lunch. I like those BIG yellow chairs. You got a lot of seafood dishes. That store looks so charming. I'd love to browse in there. And all those apples! So many things we can make with them. I'm wondering how the marshmallows would keep the brown sugar soft. Did you bring some goodies home from the festival? Did you buy any of those delicious apples? I sure miss Apple Hill - it has the best homemade apple pie! : )
