11/12APR09 - Lodi & Redding, CA

After leaving the Yosemite National Park area on Saturday, 11APR, we decided to spend less time sight seeing and more time driving to get to Seattle area quicker. But we did take time to stop and visit Dan’s niece Aimee & husband Ben Conant outside of Lodi, CA, along with two of their three children, Dustin & Fallyn. Aimee is the oldest child of Dan’s sister Sharon and husband Tim Tompkins, whom you have read about many times in this BLOG. We interrupted their work on improving the house they are renting, but truth be told Ben didn’t seem to mind! We had a great, but short visit. Dan “suggested” to Ben that he might want to install a RV spot with 30 Amp breaker for our future visits.

The next morning we continued north on I-5. We saw several billboards advertising the Olive Pit in Corning, CA. So naturally we had to stop and try the many free samples. For some reason Dan had to have a bottle of the jalapeño stuffed green olives?

After driving a little farther than normal we decided to overnight just north of Redding. We knew it was Easter Sunday because we found one forlorn easter egg that everyone had missed right next to our RV spot.
