A Downtown Story

Dad took Mommy and I to a small town called St. Jacob, (hehe, I had thought the name was St. Joseph, but I was incorrect) It's quite a drive, but today was a great day to go because the weather was absolutely gorgeous! It was only 70 F and it was very sunny. The trees also looked quite beautiful in the light because of their blazing array of reds, oranges, and yellows. So lovely! (And I could say it can be addicting to some). Hehe, anyways, the drive is about an hour and a half along the scenic route, and it was very enjoyable. I would have taken pictures, but I didn't ask Patrick for his camera soon enough. Oh well, I just guess we'll have to go back then, right? =D

The Farmer's Market is quite fun too. There were lots of goodies from tons of vendors. It was very fun to see all of the homemade tasty foods that the many Amish farmer's had made. They had lots of maple treats, wonderful homemadejelly's, tasty breads, fruit, and a whole lot more! We got some baking pumpkins (3 for 1 dollar!), so there will be many pies to look forward to, Katie! =D We also got some breads, and Dad let me get some Maple Sugar candies. They are so good! If you really want to try one, you should go to Whole Foods and get one, they're worth it. ;)

In Town we got to see many small shops that were stuffed with so many neat little things to get and look at. It would take a whole 24 hours to go through and look at everything! =D There were antique shops, Amish shops that had absolutely beautiful handmade quilts, soaps, candles, decorations, and so many other things. Everything was all set up for the Fall season too, so that was a really neat addition to the small town effects. The bakery we went into had the most delectable smells of bread being made and cooked! I could almost imagine feeling the nice warm dough in my hands and working it because of the yeasty aroma in the bakery!

Well, I hope you enjoyed this post and could imagine what I saw today! =D
