Wednesday morning. First the half mile walk around the RV park, then on to planning. Carolyn had heard about the Three Twisted Sisters road so dear to motorcyclists hearts and wondered if we could possibly do that. Of course. Wednesday will be divided into a number of different blog posts because we did a lot. Our trip started with heading west along Hwy 16 to Medina TX.
Medina is a small town with many different restaurants, coffee shop, a fabulous quilting shop, and of course, the famous Apple Store. No this store has absolutely nothing to do with computers. It's a gift store and a place with everything related to apples. They grow a lot of apples in this area. Having taken the kids when younger to pick apples when we lived in Spokane WA, I thought it would be a fun thing to do when we were visiting friends in San Antonio in the fall. She laughed and said, yes, next year. The apples ripen here in early summer.
Carolyn and I were early so there were no crowds here yet. There are cute things to see outside.
But the real attraction is what they do with the apples. These pies aren't cheap but they are 6 inches deep in the middle.
But my favorite are the apple strudel and the apple turnovers. Did I mention that they have apple ice cream, apple cider, apple jelly, apple..........
They also have a restaurant with very good sandwiches. No one was there for lunch yet and we were not ready for lunch either so we got a strudel and a turnover to eat later on. Of course, we did have to try the apple ice cream too.
Lots to choose from in the gift shop. Sorry this should have come before the apples. Carolyn took many pictures in the gift shop.
Buy one of the many delicious sandwiches and eat here or outside at one of the many picnic tables.
You can feel like the apple queen on the thrown.
Moving on down the road. This is just the beginning of our day.
