Knowing my penchant for fun photo opportunities and kid-friendly places to visit, several weeks ago, a co-worker mentioned a sunflower patch that she noticed on her way home from work. I scribbled a note on a scrap of paper and it sat on my desk.
For weeks.
This weekend, needing a distraction, we set off on an adventure, bringing Danielle and Taylor along for the ride (The Ex’s daughter and Mystic’s daughter respectively).
The field is about 20 miles from our house, and very easy to find. Started four years ago, it is the largest one of its kind on the East Coast, the first one in New Jersey, and boasts over a million blooms! We pulled into the gravel lot and excitedly piled out of the car. I was expecting just a sunflower patch, but it turns out that the 1 mile wide field was actually a maze too.
Truth be told, I’m not a fan of mazes. And come Fall season, I avoid corn mazes at all costs. I’ve never done one, mostly because I’m afraid of getting lost in the middle.
With the kids.
Never to be seen or heard from again.
As we debated about doing the maze, the woman in charge gave me a map and all sorts of instructions. I told her she wasn’t making me feel any better.
