A Walk in the Woods...

Today we decided to get a little fresh air and go for a walk. So, everyone packed up and we headed out to Graveyard Fields off the Blue Ridge Parkway for a hike and to pick wild blueberries. The name sounds rather foreboding, but is actually pretty moderate.

After our adventure in the woods, we stopped at the Moose Cafe right near the Farmer's Market for a late lunch/ early dinner. It was so good! I had, quite possibly, the best chicken tenders that I've ever eaten. We wound down the night with games of Bananagrams, dice, and watching Mrs. Henderson Presents.
