We arrived Friday evening. When we were packing to leave James kept saying and at times crying he didn't want to go and that he wanted to stay with his trains. I managed to talk him into going if we brought his trains with us. He was very happy with that.
Valentine's Day while Tracy was at his conference, James and I found a fun park with a duck pond and a large wooden playground structure. We fed the ducks and kept having to run away from a couple of crazy, mean geese. Then we played on the playground till lunch time.
Most of the rest of the afternoon we just hung out at the hotel playing trains and watching animal planet. Also, enjoyed some bike racks when we picked up Tracy.
For our special dinner we enjoyed Hometown Buffet with Tracy's cousin and family. James was very happy to see Ellie again. It was a fun evening and great of them to drive from the coast where they were visiting family just to have dinner with us.
The next day, James and I didn't do much. We did some window shopping at the near by Target, had lunch, played in the hotel room and got hot chocolates and a soda from the near by Starbucks. There really wasn't much to do in Turlock.
President's Day, we checked out of the hotel and headed to Yosemite. We stopped at the Hilmar cheese factory a long the way. Got some cheese of course.

Then on to Yosemite. Such a pretty place. Can't wait to go back and spend more time there.

Then we drove all the way home with just a stop for dinner at BJ's.
