On August 3rd, I went on L&M's Hot Air Balloon Festival tour which was being held in Warren County, New Jersey. Our first stop was in Clinton, a beautiful small town close to the South Branch of the Raritan River. We spent about an hour here. I had lunch at the Towne Restaurant on Main Street. After touring the town and having lunch, we headed to the Warren County Annual Farmers' Fair. Unfortunately, when we got there it began to rain. The hot air balloons were to go up at 6:30 p.m. but the downpour that began at about 6:20 cancelled the show! Too bad!!! |

A few photos I took on August 13th. This Penn-Dutch tour took us to Miller's for lunch. The stops made during the tour of the farms were the same, Eli's, Bird-in-Hand Bakery, and Kitchen Kettle. The day was cloudy. As we were leaving Kitchen Kettle at 4:25 p.m., it began to pour! Luckily Kitchen Kettle was the last stop. Lunch at Miller's was buffet style. The food was good and there was plenty of it and many choices, including a dessert bar. This was my first time at Miller's. |
