Apple Picking Weekend




Last weekend when we went apple picking we made it an expedition. I researched the apple orchards in the area and found Market-Miller Orchards. When we decided on going to this particular orchard since it was two hours from the house we mapped the fun local things to see and do along the way.






We went to the Route 11 potato chip factory and saw where they made the chips. You have to call ahead and see if they are actually frying the chips that day in order to watch production.






We drove down skyline drive. I have heard that it is just amazing when you drive it during the peak of leaf changing season here. They were just starting to turn. Tammy and I will be going back on the 16th of this month and am hoping to see a better turn of the leaves.






Then we drove to this covered bridge. It is the longest covered bridge in Virginia. All in all this was a really great trip. I remember traveling ever summer with my family growing up and I have such great memories of Grand Mesa Colorado and am hoping that Frankie and I are building those memories for Faith.
