If you're looking for a fun weekend day trip now that school has started (or will tomorrow - good luck), I highly recommend a trip to Sky Top Orchard. We went today after a weekend church retreat in the mountains, but you could easily go up and back in a day. There's apple picking, of course, but also hay rides, a playground, a nature trail, and animals to see. Did I mention the hot apple cider, apple cider slushies, and apple cider doughnuts that they sell? Heavenly! Mountain family memories are so much fun!!
Blessings,
