Hey, Make a Wish!

A few days ago I had the privilege of taking a day trip to Griswold CT to Buttonwood Farm for their Sunflowers for Wishes event. There was a huge field covered in massive sunflowers which I was able to take a hayride through. The event goes from July 17th to the 25th (unfortunately, that's howlong the sunflowers stay in bloom) and I believe I'm going again today! If you have the chance, go, because ALL proceeds from the sunflowers support the Make A Wish Foundation. It felt great to support such an amazing cause and it was such a nice ride for a day trip.

In addition to the sunflowers, Buttonwood Farm

s had the BEST farm-fresh ice cream I have EVER had. I am quite the fan of ice cream, so I don't just toss those words around. They had over 40 original ice creams, fro-yo's, and sorbets. Yum :)
