Casa de Fruta is a (ahem) produce stand in Pacheco Pass about an hour's drive from home. It is a hundred-year old produce stand/restaurant/gas station/deli/winery/rv park/hotel/amusement park/animal sanctuary/and... on the route between the valley and Monterrey Bay.
Kristen and Summer are here visiting for the week, and this was our first major excursion. And what a good time we had!
We got to play on the retired steam engine...
And ride the two-mile-long narrow gauge rail.
We saw many interesting things on our train ride, not the least of which was "Kevin." Named after the rare bird from Pixar's "UP", Kevin is the name we gave to each of the many peacocks we saw during our visit.
We took a few moments to smell the roses, while we waited...
and waited...
...more or less patiently

These little girls are each so packed full of personality.
They are keeping us on our toes!!
silly! silly! silly!
Then it was time for our Sluicing Adventure, as dusty ol' crusty ol' prospectors!
"It's Gold, I Tell Ye! GOLD!"
