We went to an apple orchard on the hottest day of October yet. After taking off all of our apple-picking flannel shirts so we would not get heat-stroke, my Mom, Dad and I picked approximately 2 apples before making a bee-line for the apple cider slushie machine. Oh and those were the only 2 apples in all of the orchard still on the tree! Ok, there were a couple more but I think they were rotten or covered in bees.
My parents tell me of a dreamland called Carter Mountain Apple Orchard in Charlottesville where the apple trees are plentiful, the views are super gorgeous and the apple cider doughnuts are worth driving 9 hours for. I won't be making it there this year but hopefully next!
