and KULA isn't komplete without lunch at the Lodge

BUT FIRST .... a stop at the Kula pumpkin patch that we found by accident last year & enjoyed sooo much that we looked for it this trip!!!

The patch was as big as before but instead of the sweat pea maze, they grew a corn maze .... so it was much taller (no cheating) & much larger over all. Everyone was having a great time- with the kids climbing over gords that were twice & thrice their weight. The bright colors against the ocean backdrop was beautiful.

I took nearly a hundred pictures at the patch alone .... including some that were of young parents putting their wee ones into groups of oversized harvest melons .... just to look at later because their smiles were so infectious!! We bought some fresh fruits & veggies from the farm stand & I fed a couple of carrots to the horses. Then- it was time to put some grub in our tummies.




it meant vast views of the ocean on BOTH sides of the island from a single spot. Some interesting conversation & "the usual" (on my part)
