Apple Picking + Visiting the “First McDonald’s” on the Way! 🍂

【Autumn Limited🍎】 Autumn is the perfect time to head to the mountains for apple picking! 📍 Oak Glen – The gentlest side of fall Arriving in Oak Glen, the air instantly feels sweeter. 🍏 In the orchards, bright red apples hang from every branch, and sunlight filters through the leaves—so healing! The apples are super crisp—you can hear the “crunch” with every bite. I personally love red apples, though I’ve heard they taste even better a few days after picking. There’s already a bit of Halloween spirit in the air—it might be even better in a few weeks! 🍴 Farm Kitchen – A surprisingly delicious lunch After walking around, we stopped at a cozy spot called Farm Kitchen. Simple looking, but the food was amazing! • Signature Grilled Pork Chop: Crispy outside, juicy inside, served with homemade apple sauce—savory with a hint of sweetness. So unique! • Huge portions, classic American farm style—left us totally satisfied. • Relaxed vibe with wooden tables, chairs, and mountain views outside—time really slows down here. 💡 Little details worth sharing: • Many farms let you taste apples on the spot—the owner kindly handed us an apple saying, “Try this one!” • Must-try: hot apple cider 🍎☕—sweet, warm, and tastes like autumn in a cup. • Apple pie is best eaten warm—flaky crust with rich cinnamon flavor~ For photos, don’t miss the small paths and wooden fences—they’re full of charm and storytelling. 📍 First Original McDonald’s Museum – A retro fast-food time trip On the way back from the mountains, we swung by the site of the first McDonald’s in San Bernardino. Honestly, it’s small but fascinating: • Filled with vintage ads, menus, and toys—seeing burgers priced at just a few cents from decades ago was mind-blowing 😆 • The red-and-yellow retro logo wall is super photogenic—total “old movie” vibes • Free entry, and the staff enthusiastically share fun historical tidbits This little museum unexpectedly shows that fast food can have cultural charm too. 🛣️ Itinerary tips: • Morning: Drive to Oak Glen (~1 hour) → apple picking + lunch • Afternoon: Stop by McDonald’s Museum on the way back (30–40 minutes is perfect) • Evening: Return to LA—not too tiring, and you can wind down slowly 💡 Friendly reminders: • Oak Glen has big temperature swings—bring a jacket! 🧥 • Many farms only accept cash or Venmo—come prepared • The museum area is a bit quiet—best visited during the day That’s all for now—wishing everyone a lovely weekend!
