The Poppy Reserve was lacking poppies this year. It was kinda sad, there wasn't the "blanket" of poppies covering the fields. We didn't go to the festival since it was kinda pricey to get in but we did go to the fields and had a picnic.

The best thing about the trip was actually the amazing antique store we passed by. It was an old barn turn into a huge store! I tried taking pictures with my phone so they are not the best quality. I ended up buying a few things, prices weren't so bad. Aside from the scorching desert temperature trapped inside and smell of cat poop (they had cats roaming the store) I LOVED it!
Outside,

guard kitty that was easily won over with a pringle,

The inside of the store:
Again, very bad quality plus I didn't even know where to start taking pictures...this was only one part of the store. There were about 3 other rooms this size plus little hidden nooks all over the place!


 My momma was way too overwhelmed.


This weekend I'll be going to the Lemon Festival here in Upland. I love all these festivals!

  1. Oh, I had never heard of the Poppy Reserve! Love poppies! And I was in Upland on Sunday and Monday for a funeral! We're neighbors, haha.

    You should definitely go to Salvation Mountain! It's such a cool place to visit, plus you have other places of interest nearby. Try to go asap because Leonard Knight does no longer live there, so the place is not being taken care of the way it used to. We read there are people trying to help, but you can tell the place is kind of falling apart :/. And if you go to the Salton Sea, make it in the morning, that's when the water is incredibly still ;).

    Hope you're having a great week! ;D

    Miki.
