We are very lucky to have many wonderful things to do within 20 miles from our house. After 3 1/2 years of exploring there are still things we have not done.
We had lots of errands to do today so we snuck in a few "nearby bucketlist" items off our list in between stops.
Baskin Robbins.. we are such frozen yogurt people we forget the joy of scoops of ice cream.. plus ice cream is always a good bribe.
Next, a gorgeous wetland trail that is all boardwalk. It is so pretty. I cannot believe we haven't stopped sooner and now I think it will be a regular stop.
Picking table grapes. We drive by the vines at least 4 times a week and every year we have not stopped, even though we say we should. Today we finally did and the kids loved cutting their own grapes. Not as much as they did taste testing the different varieties. Just so I remember next year our favorite variety was Interlocken which is the kind my dad used to grow. It was like eating a bit of the past. They aren't going to last long around here. I am thinking of drying some and seeing if they make good raisins. We came home with two full bags for $6. Not sure the kids will be able to eat grocery store grapes again.
