The Luceros Visit the Iconic Hearst Castle

Wow ... just WOW!!  We had a grand adventure visiting the iconic Hearst Castle in San Simeon, CA.   It was huge, beautiful and absolutely stunning!   We took one tour of many available and are super excited to explore the rest of the property in the future!

Auntie Liz Comes to Visit!

Since we live so far away from people now, we don't expect we'll get many visitors (though we know people would love to visit us here in the Central Coast of California).   Happily, Auntie Liz came to visit us for her birthday!   We all had a lovely visit! :)

The California Mid-State Fair

Today, the Lucero Family headed to the much-anticipated California Mid-State Fair!   Jonathan and I love a good state fair, but haven't been to one in years.  And well, that is because of HEAT.   Arizona's State Fair is in October, when its still hot ... hot like the face of the sun kind of hot. 

So it was amusing when the temp are our new state fair here in California reached 106 degrees.  Say whaaaaaat?

Happily there is a lot of shade at the fairgrounds.  And one could also say there is air conditioning in the buildings, but ... it sure wasn't very cool in those buildings.

But I digress ... :)

We had fun looking at all exhibits, playing games, riding rides (and ponies) and petting animals.
