An A-MAZING escape....

What a fun day! I wanted to "escape" the city over Labor Day weekend. I got online and found a fun place to explore.....Lyman Orchards in Middlefield, CT. We drove about 90 miles into Connecticut and passed amazing farms and lakes. Once we got to the orchards.....we stopped off at The Apple Barrel for some apple cider and apple donuts. Then we were off to the Sunflower Maze. Yup.....over 350,000 sunflowers! We had fun in a corn maze last year but the sunflowers this year were amazing!I wish all of my "forks in the road" looked this beautiful. I don't think you could go wrong choosing either way. What do you think?We finally ended up at a place called O'Rourke's Diner in Middletown, CT. We needed to refuel since we hadn't eaten since our morning apple cider. I had seen this place on Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives. We had some YUMMY afternoon omelets and then headed back to NY. It was a memorable and fun day.....just what I needed.
