LODI, CALIFORNIA

WE ARE OFF TO LODI, CALIFORNIA TODAY.  I FOUND A BEAUTIFUL PASSPORT AMERICA PARK WITH A POOL AND HOT TUB. TODAY WAS GOING TO BE A LONG DRIVE, BUT WE WERE UP FOR IT. WE GOT AN EARLY START, LEFT AT 8:00. YOU COULD SEE THE SKIES STARTING TO CLEAR.

 

THE DRIVE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND BEFORE LONG, WE WERE IN CALIFORNIA!

WE GOT TO SEE MT. SHASTA THIS TIME, WHEN WE CAME THROUGH IN APRIL, MT SHASTA WAS IN THE CLOUDS.

SAW THIS SIGN ON THE WAY.....THIS IS HOW WE FELT!!

IT WAS A LONG DRIVE!! WE GOT TO FLAG CITY  RV RESORT AT 4:30. IT WAS WORTH THE DRIVE!!!

WE WERE GETTING SET UP AND I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND MATT AND LYNETTE DILLON CAME DRIVING UP AND PARKED TWO SPACES  DOWN FROM US. THIS WAS A COUPLE WE HAD MET AT WESTPORT. WE WERE ALL SURPRISED TO SEE EACH OTHER!! 

IT IS A VERY SMALL WORLD!!!  DOUG BENNETT CALLED TO LET US KNOW WE HAD ALL THE HOOKUPS FOR THE PUMPKIN PATCH, AND THAT WE WOULD BE GETTING PUMPKINS MONDAY. WOW!  DARRELL TOLD HIM WE WOULD BE ARRIVING SATURDAY, HE SAID THAT WAS PERFECT! HE SOUNDS VERY NICE!!

WE WENT OUT FOR PIZZA AND THEN OFF TO BED, WE WERE TIRED!

WE WOKE TO SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKIES!!! FINALLY!!!

 

 WE HEADED TO WALMART AND TO EXPLORE.

 WE FOUND THIS "OLD MACDONALD'S". YEARS AGO WHEN THE FIRST MACDONALD'S CAME TO RAPID CITY, THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE. IT BROUGHT BACK SOME MEMORIES!!  THIS WAS ALL THE KID'S HANGOUT WHEN WE WERE "KIDS."

. WE JUST HAD TO HAVE A BURGER!

WE'VE SEEN A FEW OF THESE  IN OUR TRAVELS, BUT I BET THERE  AREN'T MANY LEFT.

THEN WE DROVE  TO DOWNTOWN LODI. 

 

WE STOPPED BY PHILLIPS FARM ON THE WAY HOME.

                                                  WE BOUGHT A FEW THINGS.       

                                               

THE GRAPES WERE SO SWEET!!

ON OUR WAY BACK TO THE RV WE NOTICED THERE WERE  GRAPES GROWING EVERYWHERE!!

AFTER DOING A FEW CHORES WE WENT OVER AND SOAKED IN  THE HOT TUB. WE HAD ANOTHER LONG DAY AHEAD OF US!! WISH WE'D HAD MORE TIME TO SPEND  HERE,  I LOVED THE AREA!
