Apple picking, smoking and relaxing...

In addition to taking in all of the amazing scenery, we also took a day trip to Charlottesville where found ourselves winding our way up Carter Mountain to a fantastic apple orchard. We got to pick some apples and we even enjoyed some apple cider doughnuts--yum! The views were amazing and we can't wait to go back again next year when Adam can assist with the picking!

We also spent a good deal of time relaxing on the deck, taking in the beautiful scenery and of course Andy used the time as an excuse to do some smoking. He cooked up a great pork tenderloin as well as a chicken that we turned into a nice fall soup.

The only down side to the visit was watching the Redskins lose (yet again)...not that we were surprised!
