This morning #2 son, our daughter-in-love, and hubby packed a picnic lunch and headed to Charlottesville, Virginia to pick apples and peaches before heading to Monticello. The views were breath-taking, the country store was charming, and the apple and peach picking was a fun activity mainly because it involved some hiking and taking in beautiful vistas.

Nothing like finishing off a morning of harvesting with an intense game of checkers.

Barbara,
having fun reading your blog - boy do you ever get around! So many excellent places to visit. Didn't realize Brent and Becky had a display garden - must put it on my "to-visit" list.
