The next morning, we woke up, had breakfast, went swimming in the hotel's pool, and headed out for the day. We quickly realized that stores don't open until noon in sleepy little towns. (We are so very spoiled by city living). We changed plans and headed to a nearby orchard to pick some apples!
 |
| I loved that this place offered samples of each type of apple before they sent you out into the fields for picking. |
 |
| The kids loved pulling / pushing the apple cart! |
 |
| Jon could certainly use the better-than-coffee energy boost of an apple! |
 |
| I've been apple picking in Illinois, Wisconsin, and now Michigan. Sorry Wisconsinites, but Michigan is easily the winner of the apple wars! In WI and IL, I often feel like I have to fight all of the other apple pickers for the single "good apple" on the tree. Here apples were abundant, delicious, and the whole experience was serene and absolutely lovely! We will most certainly be back next year! |
 |
| We ended up with more than 30 pounds of apples for less than $20! |
After apple picking, we tried navigating the corn maze.
 |
| Which Way? |
 |
| At each marker there was a trivia question to answer that gave you a clue about which way to turn. |
 |
| We were glad to see that we weren't the only crazy people who took their kids wine tasting! |
 |
| The kids were given their very own cups of sparkling grape juice. One white, One red, of course! As you can see, Elijah's not so sure about this one. |
 |
| On the way home, we stopped at a semi-famous (among foodies) slightly off the beaten path wood fired Pizzaria. It earned high marks, both in atmosphere and in food quality. |
 |
| The traditional margherita and the gorgonzola pear with red onions and walnuts. Yum! |
