We went on a road trip to pick cherries over last weekend, celebrating our 10th anniversary (!) and my something-somethingth birthday on the road. It was really fun!
We also stopped at a couple of wineries, which didn’t hurt. We hadn’t actually planned it this way, but we went to two of the wineries where we’d done tasting 10 years ago to get wine for our wedding. Michael’s best man had bought us a case of Merlot from one of the wineries, and the other was the place where we got the red wine for the wedding. It was great to revisit them and taste the wine, and they were very kid-friendly, which isn’t necessarily the case with every winery.
On my birthday, I came out of our hotel room to go to breakfast in the hotel breakfast room, and my family (who had been up for about 30 minutes) started singing “Happy Birthday.” I have to admit to some embarrassment. But I’m glad they care!
We brought home 72 pounds that we’re now consuming or pitting and freezing for smoothies or canning recipes. Oh – and five of those pounds were pie cherries! So those will be made into pies by Michael. Mmmm.
Now I have to go pit some cherries.

I found a cherry pitter in my stocking one Christmas. Had never used one before. Love it! Thanks Monica (I assume you have one, too)!
