...to check out a local bakery

What a great family outing for our Advent Calendar activity! 

We went to Rockland bakery (in Rockland County...who knew?) down in Nanuet.  If you love bread like we do, this would be the place to visit.

This place was incredibly busy and I have never seen such vast amounts of fresh bread in one place. 

When we walked in we each had to put on a pair of gloves and you walked right into the factory-type area where the bread was moving on the assembly line.  The bagels were dropping into bins, loaves of sandwich bread were zooming along to be packaged; and the smells ~ amazing.

There were racks and racks of bread (I wish I had brought my camera to take photos).  Everything from Foccacia bread to Challah bread, rye, french bread, bagels (several kinds) and fresh (HOT!) pretzels that literally melted in your mouth.

We brought home many different options since we let each of our munchkins pick out something they wanted to try and we were pleased with all of our choices!

This would be a great stop to make if you were planning a dinner party and needed some specialty breads to serve!.
