Road Trip

A few years ago I started the tradition of giving my mom a "road trip" as a gift for her birthday, Christmas, etc. We choose an area to visit and shop, sightsee and enjoy lunch together. On Tuesday we took a road trip for her Mother's Day gift and thoroughly enjoyed our time together. We visited an Amish gourd farm, another beautiful farm where the family makes their own cheese to sell in their quaint shop, stopped at a little Amish produce and baked goods stand for a snack of chocolate chip whoppie pies, found several bargains at two thrift shops, browsed through and enjoyed a cup of tea at a small used book store and had lunch at a lovely little farmer's market complete with bottles of homemade lemonade. My mom had such a good time and just kept saying, "I love doing this!" all throughout the day. : )
