Visalia-Tulare visit with family

We got into Visalia, in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, on Thursday afternoon (Feb 23rd) and got set up in the KOA campground here.  It's pretty open and grassy - which is ok for Tawny, but Sam prefers more trees and bushes so he can spy on the other campers and dogs...  He spent most of his time sitting on the stairs of the trailer, waiting to run inside if a dog came by.

We had swedish coffee and yellow pea soup with cousin Monica, then did some stock up shopping at Winco, Costco and Vallarta markets.  It's great to be unhooked from the trailer and able to run around in the truck!!

We got together with cousin Ingrid and her family for dinner at Vejar's Mexican restaurant in Tulare on Friday night (Feb 24th). She just finished making all 11 gowns for a wedding this weekend so she was in a very celebratory mood! We had a lovely visit with the whole family - Ingrid and Terry (who are celebrating their 30th anniversary this spring) and their 3 sons, Kyler, Kamryn (and Katie) and Clint (and Mel).

We're going over to Monica's for swedish pancakes this Saturday morning (Feb 25th) then we're heading south, bound for Los Angeles... with a trailer and cats!!!  Yikes.
