Casa de Fruta!

Before I get to the nice day we had yesterday, I have to tell you that our repair woes continue!  Of all things, the flap in the bottom of the toilet started acting up and finally stopped working yesterday.  We took off to Hollister to a RV repair facility and of course, being Saturday, they were closed!  There is a Camping World about 40 miles away so we called them to see if they had the parts and of course, they have to be ordered, and of course, it takes a week to get them!  And of course, we are leaving on Wednesday.  We can still use the toilet so we will wait until we get to San Diego to get it fixed!

Now to the fun part of yesterday!  On the way to Casa de Fruta in Hollister, we noticed a Glider Airport.  Ted used to fly gliders so we checked it out.  They were having some sort of promotional event.  We watched a few planes soaring and then continued on our way.

Casa de Fruta was started in 1908 and is basically a fruit stand!  Yesterday they were having a craft fair so we checked out all the "goods".  They have a fruit and nut shop, sweet shop, restaurant, wine tasting room and deli.  They have a 2-story carousel and a train that gives rides around the park.  They have an RV campground and an Inn.  After having a great lunch and a little shopping, we headed back to the campground.


Around 7:30 it was still nice and warm out, so we went over to the adult pool for some swimming.  We were the only ones there so were able to splash around to our hearts content!  After a little exercise and cooling down, we headed home.

Carousels and trains..."Ain't Life Grand!"
