Before Carlos and I left for Costa Rica, we took a trip out to the Cox Farm in Virginia to attend a fall festival. It took about an hour to get to the farm from DC, but it was well worth it! This farm is huge with tons of cool farm animals to see, feed, and pet. There were also a lot of good snacks to eat (including all the apple cider you want), slides to ride, and large pumpkins to look at. I think my favorite thing at the farm was the hay ride: Carlos and I got into the back of a huge cart being pulled by a tractor and it takes you around the farm. There are lots of weird painted wooden cut-outs of rip-off cartoons posted along the route along with lots of other weird, but really fun things. At one point, there is a countdown (with the presidents next to signs of numbers) and when you reach the end of the countdown, people dressed as aliens run out of a space ship to give everyone high-fives! What?! It was really fun and kitschy -- if we are still in Washington next fall, we will definitely go to Cox Farm again. We even got a free pumpkin and squash when we left!
