Pioneertown, CA
Pioneertown. The wind blows sand in the air like when a gunslinger rides into town. This is the place I dreamed of as a child with my cap shooter holstered and in search of bad men to battle. Sand crunches beneath my feet as I explore town. There are all the shops you expect to find in an old western town. The coffin maker would be especially busy…

Red Caboose Cafe
Maggie loves cafes so I found Red Caboose Cafe to try after a day exploring Kings Canyon National Park. It was hot outside but inside the AC was working well. I was really impressed by the decor.

Aptos ST. BBQ
I remember Aptos. I stayed in a tree house. There were lovely redwoods all around. Loved the scent of the forest. A bbq joint was in town.

Yelp Elite Event at Handel’s Vista
Nice to see another ice cream joint in Vista. Yelp and Handel’s was holding an Elite Event to celebrate the new shop so I signed up to check it out. Driving up I noticed a cool mural across the street. When I first visited Maggie in Vista we would get cool treats at Pepper Tree Frosty. Great classic ice cream shop.

Monterey Bay Aquarium
Monterey Bay Aquarium opened in 1984 in what was a sardine cannery.

The Crown and Anchor
I sailed on a restored sailing ship once. It was amazing gliding over the water with the wind at our backs.

Furaido Premium Chicken Company
Scent intoxicates me. Golden skin is so beautiful. Red dust contrasts the bright gold. Flesh is tender and juicy while the batter is crunchy and full of delicious flavor. Loved how the bbq dust gave a bit of sweetness and bbq flavor to the fried chicken flavor.
