Lompoc, California
Lompoc is generally known for its flowers, more specifically
the farms that generate the seeds. Or,
for Vandenberg Air Force Base, where a lot of unmanned rocket launches
happen. Or even the big federal penitentiary
located there. Nowadays, it's becoming
more and more known for the wines made there, specifically Pinot Noirs. Yep, we're hooked. We managed to visit several wineries and
picked up all of our "wine club" packages. It'll be a nice-drinking winter...
We also stopped to see Geri's sister, Kathy, twice, at
the assisted living complex. She was
happy to see us, knowing we were there to see her even if she wasn't sure who
we are. Geri brought a short slideshow
of pictures on her iPad, and she really liked that. She even recognized Merlin from the
pictures! Awesome.
We parked at the Lompoc Elks Lodge for the first time,
which was super-convenient. On the other
hand, we may have picked up an unwanted houseguest, as we found
"evidence" of a mouse being pretty bold inside. We cleaned everything up and the dogs, being
programmed in their DNA to chase vermin, were patrolling and scratching all
over. If we didn't drive it/them out,
we'll have to get some traps...
