Decided we needed a short trip somewhere. So why not Bridgeport, CA?! One of my favorite places in the whole world! Only 1 hour and 30 minutes from our house.

| Adam and Erin 💖 |
Loaded up the Mansion and Monday morning around 1100 we headed out. Adam had called a few days before asking what we were doing, so he and Erin headed over for 1 night. 💖 They got there before we did, so he did a little fishing and Erin read her book.
We were there just about 1300 and they drove up. Lunch done and off they went again. They were back in the later afternoon, where we just sat around and caught up. Papa burgers for dinner and then a fire. Once the sun went down it really cooled off!

| Bridgeport Reservoir, never have we seen it so full! |
 |
| Never do I tire of this view from our campsite! |
 |
| Twin Lakes, so beautiful! |
Tuesday morning after breakfast on the small Blackstone they took off for a long hike up into the mountains finding Barnaby Lake. They were gone close to four hours.
We went to see Twin Lakes and enjoyed watching people play in the beautiful lake on whatever toys they had. In all the years we've been going there we've never seen the lake so full! Temps were perfect to enjoy.
Around 1300 the kids got back and had lunch :) After a bit they had to leave as both of them have to work on Wednesday. That left Ken and I to enjoy the afternoon and evening.

There was actually enough hamburger left so we had those again and then a nice cowboy fire. Again, first time in a long time I've been able to put on a sweatshirt!

| Adam worked the State Fair last week at Camp Smokey for the NFS. He made us this cute piece of wood. Could be a Christmas ornament but we'll hang it on the wall of handmade items our family has made us 💙 |
Tuesday and Wednesday morning we actually ran the heater in the Mansion for a bit. Breakfast and then we got ourselves ready to head home. A quick trip, but an enjoyable one!
We got home around 1300, unloaded everything and then around 1700 headed next door to get caught up with Karen for a bit.
Talked with Bryan and Cheryl for awhile too.
This morning (Thursday) we took our 12 foot trailer and headed for Lowe's as Ken has a small project he wants to get done tomorrow and Saturday. Glad we're not building the outdoor kitchen this year! Wood prices are still crazy!
A trip to Walmart leaving a good donation, but better than Raley's here in town.
We decided to try the Dayton Tap House for linner. Ok, one and done! Drinks are expensive. Food wasn't too badly priced but the fries were so over salted, it was ridiculous. For the money, we'll go to Betsy's, enjoy the unsalted fries and great prices on food and drinks!
Unloaded and got groceries put away, now we're enjoying the air conditioning. Happy Hour soon!🍷🍻 Have a great evening!
Love Bridgeport but the time we went was October....so cold. Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love Bridgeport in the fall! Campgrounds close earlier than they used too now!
DeleteBodie is so close ... have you ever gone there? We used to fish Twin Lakes and Barnaby Lake when I was a kid. A long walk and we never caught a thing. Beautiful country though!!! LOVE that ornament ... how cute is that!!
ReplyDeleteBeen to Bodie several times and love it. Thank you, love the ornament too! :)
DeleteWe are ready for a roadtrip. After reading your post, even more so!
ReplyDeleteI am ready for a road trip too! We're getting one here soon, but it will be a mission rather than relaxing LOL!
DeleteJust finished catching up. You are right the time has been flying by.
ReplyDeleteI remember when Seth first started the Marines.
Stay cool in this heat.
Looking forward to being back on the road.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
Hope you're on the road this winter! :)
