Spending time with my mom, last weekend at Gilcrease Orchards, was such an enjoyable adventure!! Gilcrease is a family owned orchard approximately 20 miles north of the Las Vegas Strip. The history of the orchard is quiet unique and you can visit this link for the detailed histor: http://www.thegilcreaseorchard.org/history-orchard
Walking around the orchard brought back childhood memories of spending time during the summers in Northern, California. In an instant my childhood awe and wonder were back, it was just as thought I was 10 again picking fruit at an orchard in CA and enjoying summer time fun.
I hope you enjoy the photo tour included below and have the opportunity to visit this jewel in the desert.
