On Tuesday we took a trip out to Lombardi Ranch, because out here everyone is preparing for halloween. So as you can see Cora found herself a nice pumpkin to take a rest on. There were thousands of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes. Also a competition for scarecrows in the sunflower fields.
Wednesday we went to a local landmark here in Santa Clarita, it was the William S Hart Mansion. William S Hart being a well known silent cowboy movie actor. There were some magnificent views over the valley from this spot. They also had a small animal park in the grounds.
In the afternoon Stace and I were lucky enough to get a game of golf at Robinsons Ranch Golf Club. This is a Championship course, and the views were stunning. It was the hardest course Stacey had ever played, so I had no chance. I actually lost about 10 balls during the round, mainly due to the fact when in the rough you looked for them at your peril due to the rattlesnake warnings. We were treated like royalty, we were met at the gates, and someone took your clubs and put them on your buggy for you, you had ice box provided on your buggy to keep your drinks cold, and towels to take to cool you down. Pity someone couldn't play golf for me as well !!
One of the stunning views on the course.
This is a view of the Spa and pool at Stacey and Lisa's complex, although the weather has been really hot, the water has been a bit too cold to tempt us in.
Tomorrow we leave to come home, the three weeks has gone very quickly, but it has been an experience I know we will always remember fondly, I hope we have given everyone a sample of Californian Life with this blog.
It only remains for us to thank Stacey, Lisa, Cora, Lisa's family and everyone we met on our visit, for giving us such a great time, and one we will never forget. Thanks !!!
