Strawberry Pickin'

We've been wanting to go strawberry picking ever since Melissa got here last year but we didn't know where to go until Melissa saw pix on a friend's blog recently, so she asked her and we went as soon as we could.

Not only was this the hottest most humid day of the year, but it's the same day we ran the 5K (below) and went to Grant's baptism and the Potomac river (also below). So it was a busy day.

For those of you who want to pick your own strawberries, this place is called Miller Farms, and it's a 30 minute drive from Crystal City, south east of the District, in MD. We picked 8 lbs and it cost us $11, so it's a good deal and you can pick the perfect berries. They also serve homemade soft-serve ice cream in the little store, and a large is about a foot tall, and it's GOOD!
