Last weekend we packed up the kids and headed out to Charlottesville to Carter Mountain Orchard for some apple picking! We had never been there before, but really wanted to find a "pick your own" orchard and that was the closest one I could find. Man, was it worth that drive! It is absolutely gorgeous up there, and yes, it really is on top of a mountain! I wish we could have stayed for the sunset, I can only imagine how amazing it must look from there! Please excuse the random snap-shots that I am displaying below. They don't really qualify as "photography" in my book, simply family snap-shots, but I wanted to share them anyway.
Yes, I am actually IN one of these photos.....a rare instance where I let Ewan use my camera! ;) |
I highly recommend making the trip up to Carter Mountain for several reasons......first, it's good old fashion family fun! Second, they have VA wine!! (yes, I did put that second, can you blame me?!) They sell their own Carter Mountain wine as well as Prince Michel and others. And they do tastings all day long ;-). OK, moving on.....they also have pumpkins and a hayride, an amazing view, and apple products galore (think apple donuts, apple pie, apple butter, the works!) So, check 'em out! It's a great family outing! ;-)
P.S. Have you scheduled your Holiday mini session yet? Time spots are filling up....email or call me for more info. ;-)
Thanks for stopping by!
