cherry adventure

yesterday.... my mom and I took a drive up to Hood River looking for cherries.  It is one of my favorite things about summer.  The best part is when you can find a u-pick.  The cherries though this season are about a whole month late in ripening, so we struggled to find any once we first arrived.  We made a few stops and finally found some to purchase.  We were looking for a u-pick but out of luck.

The best thing happened.... as we headed out of town we found a sign saying U-Pick Cherries... we figured why not just try and see where it leads.  The road took us to a farm not listed on the map that had lots of treasure.  It was packed full of cherry trees.  The best site I have been ever.  It took us no more than 10 minutes to pick 10 pounds of ripe, beautiful, sweet cherries.

My weekend is COMPLETE!
