We ate lunch at a place called “Sweetie Pies” in Placerville, then walked through several shops in the old downtown section. Sweetie Pies is a place I highly recommend. Everything was so yummy there.
Apple Hill is near Placerville and is an area full of apple orchards just off of highway 50, going towards Lake Tahoe. During harvest season, between October and Thanksgiving there are lots of craft shows up at the orchards and Rainbow Orchard makes the best apple cider donuts and sells ice cold pressed apple cider, along with several varieties of apples. We were up there towards the end of the season, so the crowds weren’t too bad, but my cousin said a few weeks ago, on the weekends it bumper to bumper traffic going from one orchard to another and the line for the cider donuts was endless. If you are ever near Placerville in October, early November, you have to go up to the orchards. High Hill Orchard had many craft booths set up. I could have spent all day there and still not seen everything. There are maps at the orchards that show where they are all located, or you can google them on line.
Oh that sounds like a wonderful vacation.
I wonder if I could persuade my family to go there next Thanksgiving?
