The Fruit Farm

It was another beautiful, unusually cool weekend in the Greater Washington weekend, so we packed up a picnic lunch and headed for the mountains to McIntosh fruit farm. It seems the cool, wet spring slowed down the fruits and vegetables, thus we were a few weeks early for the blackberries and tomatoes. We still had a great time as we loaded up the little red wagon with buckets and proceeded to pick peaches, some not quite ripe blackberries (Anna was having a good time - it must be the inate gathering gene), a few tomatoes, and some squash along with some beautiful flowers. The big treat was the homemade frozen blackberry yogurt that we had before we left.

We rounded out the day with some quality time at the local pool followed by pizza on the Vienna Town Green where we watched a concert. A great end to a nice weekend!
