| Saw a whole lot of this. |
 |
| Lots of bugs too. |
 |
| And then more this. |
 |
| Pea Soup Anderson's was mildly interesting to look at as we drove by. |
 |
| Eventually this caught our eye and figured it was a great place for "lunch." |
 |
| These windmills were the only thing of interest for the next leg of our journey. |
 |
| We amused ourselves with singing children's songs to the children. One of the sample lines of this particular diddy is
"What would you do with a drunken sailor?" The answer is, of course, "Put him in a longboat 'til he's sober." Ah, good times. |
 |
| A little after noon we hit our destination: Daisy's Mecca. |
 |
| We took a lot of pictures outside and then headed in for a tour. Afterwards we hit the store to stock up on Belly Flops and
more Jelly Belly merchandise than we know what to do with. |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| After the factory, we were headed to a nearby olive oil tasting when we saw a turkey walking around. |
 |
| That's right, I said a turkey. It even gobbled when Chris gobbled at it to get it's attention. |
 |
| After a great time at Sepay Grove (where we picked up EVOO w/Hot Harissa and Red Apple Balsamic) we continued on to Sacramento. |
 |
| Our hotel was lovely. The girls got their own bedroom and own beds and were ecstatic. |
 |
| We loved having a living room and our own bedroom too. We settled in with dinner, which I had brought, then Chris went out to get a
haircut while the girls and I watched a History Channel show on the the exact part of Greek history Tabitha and I have been studying. Then we went swimming for awhile before
relaxing with popcorn and then putting the kids to bed. Chris and I got everything ready for us to leave the next morning before heading to bed ourselves.
|
 |
| After breakfast at the hotel, we took a different route to get home on our way to Fresno. There was nothing of note for a picture.
We pulled up to this attraction just before noon. |
 |
| After the Underground Gardens, we continued down the 99 and saw a sign for Kingsburg, a Swedish town. |
 |
| They should have called it a ghost town because every single storefront was closed, save for ice cream, pizza and Chinese food. |
 |
| But they did have a kettle-shaped water tower. |
 |
| And a giant Dala horse, so all was not lost. |
 |
| Back on the road and through the grapevine..... |
 |
| ....past Pyramid Lake.... |
 |
| ....and finally coming to a stop at our last destination. |
 |
| Farrell's is a special place from my and Chris's childhoods. I fondly remember losing a tooth at my 6th
birthday party at Farrell's. They have all vanished, but recently a group is helping Farrell's make
a comeback. We were thrilled and couldn't wait to stop in for some ice cream. |

 |
| Another hour (and DVD) and we were home to our favorite place- LA :) It was a great trip! Thanks for reading. |
