On Saturday morning we decided to celebrate the beautiful weather by joining our neighbors and the Lauers at Carter Mountain Orchard. The orchard just opened on Friday and they were having a “Spring Fling” celebration. I’ve always loved this orchard and its great views of Charlottesville (the site is on an adjacent peak to Monticello, Thomas Jefferson’s home). The festival had hayrides, booths, fresh donuts, face painting, and apples! We didn’t really stay that long as it was pretty windy up there, but the kids seemed to enjoy it! Anyways, we’ve posted some pictures on our Flickr in our Carter Mountain Orchard Spring Fling Set and Anna, the Lauer boys, and our neighbor Millie were also featured in some official photos Carter Mountain posted to their Facebook site. I definitely recommend a family trip to his orchard and bring your camera! They have an observation deck and on a couple Saturdays that I’ve been, they’ve offered the hay ride. When in season, their nectarines are unbelievable and last summer, I took Ben there to do some apple picking. I hear they have a decent winery next door too, but I’ve never been yet! Maybe later this summer.
