These are Washington Navel Oranges

Today we drove from Three Rivers back to LA. On the way we had to stop and do some caching. As we descended from the mountains we entered orchard county. Vineyards, olive trees, orange and lemon trees, and something that looked suspisciously like apple trees lined the roads. After finishing our last cache (right beside an orange orchard) a pick up truck drove up. "Are you taking pictures?" he asked. Since we weren't picking the oranges, we decided that yes was a safe answer. He asked us where we were from and promptly got out to show us around. He picked the oranges off the tree and explained that they are washington navel oranges. He peeled two for us and they were delicious! He showed us different trees, and explained that the orchard is over 100 years old! (This was actually his neighbours orchard, but his was down the road) He was very kind and answered all of our questions. He even gave us an orange to go! Then we continued our drive back to LA. We had chinese food for dinner, and then went to the observatory in Grifith park. We watched some demonstrations (some were completely unrelated to space) and then went to the planetarium. The show was pretty good, and it was basically a history class of space theories. It was the first planetarium show Mom's ever watched, that she hasn't fallen asleep in! The observatory is on a hill, so we got to see LA at night from high up.

Hope everyone's having a great March Break at home. :)
