As it is autumn in Southern California, I am rather excited for all of the flavors fall brings: spices, pumpkin, apples, and squash. In Southern California, there is a well-known town that many go to visit to pick their own apples or enjoy a day surrounded by gorgeous scenery. My sister, niece, close friend and I did both!
In Oak Glen, California, there are many places that offer a U-Pick style: buying a certain size container and pick apples to fill said container. We went to Los Rios Rancho. We went all in and bought a 1/2 bushel (a decent sized box, as shown on my niece's head!) and picked Rome Beauties and Granny Smiths! I purchased a ten pound bag of Macintosh from the store.
After apple picking, we took a tour of the farm in a horse-drawn carriage.
After that we got some lunch at a small, family owned restaurant called Law's. They are well known for their apple pie, with good reason!
After lunch, we hit the seasonal boutique set up for Halloween and fall with a lot of cute decorations!

One seller at the boutique was selling antique items, and I found this great train case! I bought it and it currently resides on my makeup station to hold my makeup and hair care products.
All in all, it was an awesome day, and I foresee some apple recipes coming in the near future!
