Apple Picking!

Marker-Miller Orchard in Winchester found us on a recent Sunday doing one of my most favorite Fall activities - Apple Picking!  

By the time we were able to coordinate schedules, planning this outing with one of our dearest family friends happened later in the season than we wanted.  But we managed to find an orchard that still had apples to pick and a date to go.  Bonus that it was on a Sunday and the dads could join us too.  Not only the dads, but Lucy came!  Yay for Lucy being welcomed at this Orchard.  It was very dog friendly and there were dogs everywhere!  Lucy was a rockstar and it makes me want to take her everywhere.  

I've been to quite a few orchards in the greater-DC area over the years and this had to be the biggest one yet.  There were 10 different apple varieties we could pick. It was huge! And even though we arrived at the tail end of apple picking season we still came home with 3 good size bags of apples.   What a great way to spend a few hours.  

Next year our plan is to go much earlier and during the week when the orchard isn't as crowded as it is during the weekend.   Apple picking is such a good old fashioned activity that gets us outdoors, breathing fresh air and doing something good for us.  This is one activity you can't outgrow.  Apple picking for the win!
