Pumpkins

Today we drove up to the North Georgia Mountains. The original plan was to see the foliage, go apple picking and get some pumpkins but we got a little sidetracked. It's a little early in the leaf changing season so we may come back in early November. We did visit a great little orchard where the kids got to see the apples being packaged, sliced, diced, juiced and baked into pies. Of course, no visit would be complete without samples of each. Nothing beats a freshly made apple fritter.

We then drove up to Blue Ridge to see the little downtown area. We arrived just in time to see the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway departing. All 3 kids were in awe of the big train.

We did some sightseeing, grabbed some lunch and had the kids pick out there own pumpkins.
