When I wrote mine I had decided to include a few "easy" items to get me started and balance the few "harder" ones, such as own a yacht :) One of the easy items was to go apple picking which is something that I've always wanted to do, and should be a simple task given all the orchards and farms around NJ. Well,it turns out for one reason or another that I never got to go, so when a friend told me about a place in Belgium I was so excited! We got all dressed up in fall attire, drove about an hour south with our friends, the Weinbergs', down crazy narrow country roads. After asking a local we realized we had driven right by the tiny paper sign which advertised the apple farm, and when we finally found it, they were all out of apples for the season! Zut! Have to try again next year!
