Besides picking fruit...

we also spent some time at the Farmer's Market...





some time with the animals (dog, cats & ducks)...





Did I mention we enjoyed the fruit?? And we made some REAL ice cream - or rather, Kat did with a little help from Daddy and Bob.

North for a family reunion

We took a quick excursion north to Montana, to attend a family reunion, supply the San Diego Hinkles with some citrus (it's a hard habit to break) and to take in some gorgeous scenery!

First Scenic view - Yellowstone National Park at dusk, when the animals come out to play.




Then onto the reunion...





And some fun with the nieces.



Second Scenic view - Mission Mountains, MT.



Citrus delivery, a quick visit to "the Cabin"...



and wildlife viewing of various types.





Third Scenic view - Ross Creek Cedars, MT





Fourth Scenic view - Hwy. 95, Idaho



Fifth Scenic view - Hwy. 97, Oregon



Sixth Scenic view - Mt. Shasta, California



Quick stop in SF to pick up June and then onward to...

Seventh Scenic view - the Pacific Coast Highway/Hwy. 1, CA.







Eight (and final) Scenic view - Coronado Island, CA and the Hotel del Coronado





As we were relaxing at a sidewalk pizza stop in Coronado, we happened to witness the Coronado Sandman at work on one of his sand paintings. It was too dark for a picture but was a very cool finale to our trip.
