Sidetracked

A funny thing happened on the way to South Lake Tahoe...I didnt make it. Plans were changed at the last minute and went to Cache Creek indian casino. This place is only a two hour drive from the city, half the time it takes to get to SLT. I have always resisted going to these casinos that within a short drive. Going to SLT or Reno involves a long 4 hour or more drive. This keeps my trips to a minimum. My fear is getting addicted to the gambling. Im not a big gambler by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I have been on a big losing streak as of late. While at Cache Creek, I dropped $60 really quick. I know, thats not a whole lot. But, that was an omen of how my luck was going to be. It took some will power to stop and not try to win it back. Thankfully, left after a short while. On the way back, stopped of at the Jelly Belly factory in Fairfield. It was late afternoon and a bad idea. They offer a free tour showing how their candies are made. With all the kids out for the summer, the line for the tour stretched all the way to the entrance. This equates to over an hour wait in line for the tour. I decided to forgo this and went home
