Tuesday - California or Bust!

We left for California right after breakfast. Everyone was in high spirits and excited for a new adventure! We packed sandwiches to eat in the car, and got to our motel around 3:00, even after a quick stop at some outlets in Palm Springs. You would think we would have learned about the false advertising of hotels online, but we still booked a motel online... well, it was better than the Flamingo....It was called an 'executive suite', but let's just say we wouldn't have wanted to see the 'normal one'! Anyway, we only slept there, so it didn't really matter, and it was about 3 long blocks to Knotts, so we were able to walk. After we checked in we walked to Knotts to see how far it was, to buy tickets for tomorrow, and to eat at Mrs. Knotts Chicken Diner. We ate there 2 years ago, and wanted to do it again!! All the waitressess wear old fashioned dresses, and the kids meals contain - a block of jello, 2 fried chicken legs, mashed potatoes, corn, and ice cream, also a snoopy cup of pink lemonade or boysenberry punch. Scott and I shared the adult meal, which is chicken noodle soup, salad, FOUR pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, corn or cabbage, and pie. We were stuffed, good thing we walked!! We were able to buy Knotts tickets for tomorrow, We had coupons to get in, so we paid 19.00 for the kids, and 31 for the adults.
