A Peakcock Run and Knotts Bery Farm

The day started at the Leo Carillo trails providing a challenging and interesting course with rolling hills, dirt, and pavement. Nearly a perfect run, practically no runners, cold weather, no sun, and surprises at every turn, 3 peacocks, and new trails we didn't know existed. Although it's easy to do our old routes, I felt intuitively that we really needed to try this place, and I am just so grateful to have this new path that has reinvigorated my Saturday morning runs.

When I got home that morning, another surprise - my hubby had planned a surprise getaway to Anaheim. So I booked a couple of tickets to Knotts Berry Farm, the only amusement park I have not been to in that area. So we probably should have gotten the fast pass in hindsight, because by the time we got there, lines were long for the most popular rides. Eddie did show me to rides that did not have lines, and we managed to hop on 4 rides, and play some games. Leaving around 7p, I wondered how I was able to close down the park when I was a kid. I did eat a Churro, which wasn't bad, Eddie was disappointed that they ran out of turkey legs. We give this place 3 out 5 stars. As Eddie says, Disney would never run out of turkey legs and pretzels with salt (twice he was out of luck)!

Well we're back, and I'm so glad to have hang out with my favorite person.

Eddie landed basketball in the hoop to win this hedge hog.

 
Scrambler was a level 3 out of 5 thrill ride, but it felt like a 5.

Our view as we awaited our thrill ride to start.

Still can't believe I saw peacocks on my run.
