Turtle Beach - Manteca, CA 4/2019

                       CLICK HERE TO SEE PICTURES I TOOK AROUND HERE

Leaving tomorrow and headed for Yosemite, our last visit there was in 2013, at that time we had no cell service so internet was bad also. So need to get this posted today.  (just in case anyone is stilling following us on the blog).

Not a lot to see and do in this area, we always enjoy finding the local museums.  We visited the Manteca Historical Society, which houses a vast array of artifacts, documents and thousands of photographs of the area. I enjoyed talking with the volunteers while Len ventured out to the outer building to check out what was housed there. Nice museum.

We did find a casino which I donated a small amount to while Len walked out with full pockets.  Did take advantage of the senior buffet for $5.99, wasn't that bad but serving out of the bingo hall while the casino is renovating so you can't expect much, but it was good and a cheap meal.


Len took me out for my birthday, decided to check out Billie's Hillbilly's Bar-B-Q, ribs were good. Wish I would of had room after my meal because the fried pies really looks good.  Also had a birthday breakfast at IHOP as oldest son had sent a gift card for my birthday.

Made a stop a one of the local veggie/fruit stands that we have been to before.  The strawberries are so sweet and fresh here, picked right out of the field. Also bought some pears but still need to ripen some before I eat them.

Sat outside and enjoyed watching a goose that has her nest in a dead tree here in the park.  We kept hoping to see some babies but doesn't look like that is going to happen before we leave.

Will be in Yosemite for 2 weeks, so will post after that.
