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!

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)!!
Slow and steady wins the race !!!
Keep going.
Love the tradition of the Apple Day. We have something similar. Its always so much fun and tasty too.
Love the photo of you and your hubby. Too cute.

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! : )

I loved seeing the pictures. I would love to browse the store..especially the candy bin! :) Good times with the family!
This is such a beautiful area and oh....that river just thrills my heart. I just looked up the location of Blue Ridge and read about this town. Very interesting. My daughters did some apple picking last year when they were in the NE states and they loved it. I want to do this sometime. Do you live near this area? Your pictures are so good...sorry that your grandson did not feel well. your daughter and granddaughter are very pretty ladies.
We used to have an apple festival in my hometown and we went every year too. they always had a lot of apple things to eat and cider to drink too! We ate as we walked around. I do love apples and the many things you can do with them.
Such a beautiful location to make family memories. Wish I lived closer to visit as I love apples...all varieties. Eating alongside that river must have been so quaint and refreshing. I would have spent lots o money in that store if I had been there. Janice
