U-Pick

We went Brentwood to U-Pick cherries. We love rainier cherries so much, so ended up picking for 20 pounds. It was $2 a pound.

The whole place was full of various U-Picks. After we are done with cherries, we picked a couple of peaches and bought apricots.

Mt. Rainer Finally

We went to ski to Christal Mountain again and finally saw Mt. Rainer from the summit. It was very beautiful.

Christal Mountain Again

Since the weather forecast said that it would be a fine day, we went to Christal Mountain again to ski. Unfortunately, the mountain was cloudy and we couldn't see Mt. Rainer again.

Christal Mountain

We went skiing to Christal Mountain. We had a bad memory that we drove down there about 2 hours only to figure out that it's closed a couple of years ago. But, this time, it was open.

Because of the heavy snow, we unfortunately couldn't see Mt Rainier, but the snow was great. We want to come back again sometime soon.

Horseback Riding, etc.

I took visitors to Sea Horse Ranch in Half Moon Bay. This place is recommended because about one third of two-course is on the beach like the picture below. We don't have to make make one straight line like at other places. We can even make horses half gallop.

After the horseback riding, we drove down to Santa Cruz.

Then, we drove further down to Monterey. We walked around the fisherman's wharf and drove the 17 mile drive.

When we drove through San Jose, it was in the middle of Christmas in the Park. So, we parked the car and walked around.

Stanford

I had visitors from Seattle. We visited the Stanford campus.

Southern Indiana

We traveled Southern Indiana today.

We first visited Starlite Drive-In Theatre. We didn't see any movies, but it was exciting because this was our first time to visit a drive-in theater outside of movies.

In Bedford, we stopped by a limestone give shop (Half Moon Lime Stone Product) and bought some souvenirs made of limestones.

Then, we went to Bluespring Caverns and had a cave tour on a boat.

On the way to the Spring Mill State Park, we stopped by Applacres and bought apple butter.

In the Spring Mill State Park, we saw how people lived in this area in old days. The demonstration of grind corns using the mill was exciting.

At last, we had dinner at Gasthof Amish Restaurant, a restaurant in Amish town.

It was a long day, but we had a lot of fun.
