One of our favorite things about Davis was the Farmer's Market. The Farmer's Market (believe it or not) is one of the main things that drew Kristin to graduate school at UC Davis, and we often loved to walk there during good weather to have a picnic and people watch. Nathan's going to miss the bolani guys...Kristin's going to miss the corn dogs.
She got to have one last corn dog before they left, and it was delicious! She wouldn't let them sell her one that had been precooked a few minutes earlier. She demanded a fresh-dipped, fresh cooked one and enjoyed every second of it.
Very unflattering picture here...just focus on how delicious the corn dog looks.
Another of our favorite places is Apple Hill near Placerville. Every year, when the leaves start to change colors and apples start weighing down the trees, we head up to Apple Hill for a morning of looking at crafts, taste testing apple butters and apple wines, and eating lots of apply goodness!
This year, the first thing we ate...apple cider donuts. So good.
Kristin got to smell her favorite variety of apple, the Gravenstein. It's not a type of apple we've seen outside of California, but it is by far the best. It literally smells like apple cider and makes a great apple crisp.
Then there were all of the buildings and stalls with crafts! These buildings feature Gooseberry Patch items, so of course Kristin has to go check them out.
We stopped by the pond to watch a little boy fish for the first time. They had that pond so well stocked that he caught his fish within a matter of minutes.
And of course, we couldn't forget to sample fudge at the Fudge Factory!
We ended our morning with lunch and a piece of buttermilk apple pie.
Yes, it's true...our bucket list has just as much to do with food we like to eat as it does with places we like to go. :)
Love it. :) Your adventures have such great variety! I really enjoy your posts. I'm sad we didn't get more opportunities to hang out before you were whisked halfway across the US!
