U-Pick

I didn't realize that Washington was such an agricultural state, but it is littered with cute little farm stands and u-pick kind of places.  I love it!

We've stopped at several farm stands already - in fact just 3 minutes from our house is a stand that has not only produce, but also grass-fed beef and free-range chicken eggs for sale.  The thing that made me laugh about this stand is the forms of payment.  It was one of those "honor pay" systems where you just leave the money in the box.  But in this 21st century day and age, the sign said you could also pay by PayPal through your mobile phone!  That's a long way from leaving your nickel in the Ball jar.

Two days ago as the kids and I were driving home from swimming, we passed a sign for pick-your-own dahlias.  What a nice little pit stop on our way home.

London doesn't look so sure about this, does he?
