Hello, Fall...?
I've been corralled by my lady friend into an apple-picking excursion this weekend. That's right, I said apple-picking. In Southern California. Am I blowing your mind? I think maybe I've apple picked once since I lived in Southern California, probably in Julian, where the streets are paved with apple pie.
We're going to a place called Rileys Farm where the employees dress in "period costume." The website doesn't really clarify what period.
The costume stuff might make me reconsider if I wasn't so distracted by the fact that it's 95 f'ing degrees out!
(Who am I kidding? The costume stuff only sweetens the deal).
It doesn't really seem right to do Fall stuff while you're sweating. The exception being, of course, eating apple pie.
Maybe pics to follow?
UPDATE>>>
I looked more closely at the Riley Farms website. They don't just dabble half-ass in historical periods. They have everything and they have it in adventure form.
Revolutionary War Adventure, The Civil War Adventure, Gold Mine Adventure, the Old Joe Homestead Tour, featuring the pioneer life of 1880's homesteader Joe Wilshire, the Colonial Farm Life Adventure, or the Overnight Revolutionary War Adventure.
