My real estate agent has not found us a home yet, but she always has ideas for some activities! She asked me if the kids would like going to lemon picking in Rancho Sante Fe. For those of you who don't know RSF, its home to the filthy rich! Homes there are in the millions minimum. We drive through this area every week to go to the masjid and we always see these beautiful estates with lemon and orange groves.
Anyways, I told the agent sure why not. Something different for the kids to do and it sounded like fun! We drive up the house. The owners are away in the "desert" not really the desert but Palms Springs, they call it the desert. Apparently the owner had a second home in the "desert"! She reluctantly told me that the owner of this home was the CEO of a major retail chain store, Ross Stores.
We walked around the property and picked lemons and oranges. They had 5 different kinds of orange trees including blood oranges. My kids were fascinated! They had so much fun, we came home with 4 bags of citrus fruit and we didnt even put a dent in the grove!
Beautiful house with a gorgeous pool area. It was a very nice afternoon and the weather was perfect! =)
Pictures to come....
