This weekend, Peggy, Ryan’s mom, came into town for a fun, fall weekend. The weekend started with homemade paninis for lunch and then we were off to hike the Monticello walking trail. After we hiked all the way up to Monticello (well, we could only get as far as the fancy new visitor’s center), we went to Carter’s Mountain Orchard for some apple picking. Here are some of the pics from our adventure.

A few of my favorite things: Ghana baskets!
After a jam-packed day of activities, we went to Mas for dinner— which was excellent. They truly do have some of the best food in town. Then, for dessert, we went to Sweet Frog— which is definitely not as good as Splendora’s but it’s still the new thing to do in town… and their mango is pretty good (for something low-fat).
Now I just have to figure out what to do with all these golden delicious and jonagold apples that I have. Any suggestions?
