A summer trip to Jackson's Orchard near Bowling Green Kentucky, in 2012

Was this day ever hot!

I just finished putting some photos on Facebook of this too. Jackson's Orchard is on a hill and has a great view. You drive up a really big hill to get there. They have lots of apple trees and now peaches too.

I took pictures of part of the inside of the shop (that looks like a barn) and also of the family house, and the parking lot.

If you live in the area, you will want to go to Jackson's Orchard to get peaches, apples, apple and peach pies, and many kinds of canned goods and preserves. It's a fun trip. OH - and don't forget the slushies. Mmmmmm.... so frosty and cold.

It was funny to remember coming here years ago in our old car... it barely made it up the hill. Now we didn't worry. It was a really fun trip.

Today is Kamehameha Day in Hawaii. It is a State Holiday there.

Today is June 11th, 2012 - Kamehameha Day in Hawaii!

I think this would be a GREAT day to be in Hawaii. They have "lei-draping, dancing, and King Kamehameha the Great's statues are draped in lei's. Also, games, fairs, and tours are held.

This is a beautiful photo of Oahu, Hawaii.

This photo is of Oahu Makapuu Point, and is by Alex, who has a travel blog.



















King Kamehameha the Great united all the Hawaiian islands in the 1700's, giving more of a political identity to Hawaii.

This holiday sounds really nice, and is a State holiday there in Hawaii.

Read a poem about Kamehameha Day 2012 from the Caddo Veil site

Events today for the holiday - from The Maui News

Have you ever stayed in Hawaii? What is a nice place to stay? What island should a first-time visitor go to?
