Today we went to Knotts Berry Farm with Chad’s family to celebrate Cody’s 9th birthday. We had to be at Chad’s house at 7:50 a.m. because we had to stop in Loma Linda to pick up discount tickets. Melissa’s sister is a Deputy Sheriff for LA County, she had gotten the tickets earlier in the week.
The kids rode the rides while J.W. and I visited with various employees and took in several of the shows. It was interesting to find similarities of both SDC and CC in the Park. We talked with several employees who knew employees at SDC and others who had visited our Park in Branson. All in all, it was a fun day. The train ride didn’t compare to SDC’s. The Conductor had visited SDC and was highly impressed with our train.
We ate at Johnny Rockets and paid an astronomical price for the meal. When we left the Park we found we could have eaten just outside the gate for 1/3 the price. A one day pass was $60.00 and there weren’t nearly as many shows as there are at SDC. Some of the rides were more thrilling than ours. It cost $12.00 for parking, and there were no trams, trolleys, shuttles or buses to take us to the entrance. And a bottle of water was $4.00. The Park is centered more around Indian Culture and, of course, Knotts Berry Farm jellies and jams.On the way back to Hemet we encountered our first big traffic jam of the trip. For 17 miles we travelled at 5-10 mph.
