A Brewery and an Orchard kind of Weekend

You know it is going to be a good weekend when it starts like this.

Pete brought home roses for me today to celebrate the day we first met, 28 years ago. So crazy to think it has been that many years and so sweet of Pete for the beautiful flowers.

Saturday morning Pete and I took a little day car trip down to New Ulm, MN with the intention of taking in the beautiful changing fall colors and also doing a tour at Shell's Brewery. We have been here before, but it is the first time we have done the tour. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and it was the perfect sunny and cooler day to just leisurely walk around.

Next we headed to the downtown area and strolled through the Octoberfest area and listened to some live music.

And then dinner at this German restaurant.

Then it was a stop at 'Minnesota's Largest Candy Store' in Jordan. This place is amazing and has just about any candy or soda you could ever want.

Sunday was our annual trip to the Pine Tree Apple Orchard which we have been doing since before Tyler was born (23+ years). The cast of characters this year was Pete, me, Drew and his girlfriend Mackenzie. We did all of our usual things including the hay ride, the corn maze and the apple barn.
