My tomatoes finally decided it was time to ripen up. We're going to be having some BLT's for lunch today!
We took a little trip up to Estes Park last Friday and played our favorite miniature golf course.
We found a place for a picnic lunch and then walked around town for a bit. I had to take this photo of the taffy place, in honor of my Blueberry Taffy project!
Salt Water Taffy - Colorado style, lol!
(Not a lot of salt water around here!)
Right after that it started raining like crazy, and we had to hightail it back to the car!
But it was a fun day while it lasted.
LeeAnna's question of the week is about amusement parks - do we like them, and what do we like about them? I haven't been to an amusement park in many years. But we did enjoy visiting the Disney parks several times over the years as our kids were growing up, both Disneyland in California and Disney World in Florida. You can't beat their atmosphere - beautiful landscaping and buildings. My favorite ride was always Pirates of the Caribbean, and the shows are fun, too.
Great memories!
So glad you took a short road trip and you got to play a bit of mini golf. Salt Water Taffy in Estes Park CO. Funny! Speaking of which…your quilt top/flimsies turned out perfect. What is about those solids that causes them to ravel so easily? We never did get our kids to Disneyland or Disney World. But they both have been as adults.
ReplyDeleteToo bad you didn’t have your quilt with you for a photo op!!! Sounds like you had a fun day. I worked at an amusement park one summer when I was in high school. It was an interesting job. Gail at the cozy quilter
ReplyDeleteLook at those tomatoes! Your plants still look lush. You and Mike look so cool there in your sunglasses. :) I bet the scenery there is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how your tomatoes were doing. My cherry ones have been doing great, just enough(and a few more) for me to eat for a few weeks now.
ReplyDeleteThose tomato's are going to be yummy in a sandwich! I never would have thought of salt water taffy, in CO! Glad you got out for a nice date with hubby.
ReplyDeleteYour day out looks lovely except for the rain. Hubby and I played mini golf last year while on holiday. So fun, even though I am terrible at it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day at Estes Park especially playing mini golf. Mmm a BLT sounds delightful. Our tomatoes have dwindled down. Do enjoy harvesting yours. Darling photos of the boys when they were young. Amusement parks are magical .
ReplyDeleteSomebody ate my tomatoes while they were still green! I picked the rest and hope they will ripen. Mini golf! What fun.
ReplyDeleteglad your tomatoes are ripening before the cold weather arrives. I like mini golf it is fun - I like Disney in Florida I have not been to the one in California
ReplyDeleteThat was a great taffy sign! It looks like you had a super fun day and what a great way to top it off with a BLT! There is nothing like a home ripened tomato!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you won at golf. Estes Park was always a favorite place to visit when our daughter was working in Denver. I hear that course is very challenging :) Being annual pass holders at Disney World when our kids were small...Ok, until our daughter graduated college, it was our favorite. I agree, the landscapes are spectacular.
