Over the weekend, my family went to Paso Robles. My aunt and uncle live there so we decided to go down for a visit. Of course I brought my camera with me. It was the only thing that kept me entertained while down there. We spent most of the weekend driving around and going wine tasting. Since I am not 21, I just took pictures instead.
We went to a very old winery. The wine tasting room was in an old barn. When we went in, we met the owner. He told us how he has lived on that property since he was born and it originally belonged to his grandparents. Before the land was used to grow grapes for wine, it was all farming land. When you looked into the field of grapes, you could see an American flag placed randomly among the grapes. We asked the owner why the flag was there. He told us that it is because during World War II, a plane crashed right there and the pilot died. It crashed due to engine failure, but they decided to place an American flag where the crash happened.
While my family continued to talk to the owner and taste wine, I decided to take a walk. The property was really big and had a lot of cool things on it. There were about 2 other old barns, besides the one that was turned into the wine tasting room. The wood on the building was starting to rot and there was pieces of metal sticking out of the wood that was covered in rust. The way that the sun hit the building was really beautiful, so of course I took photos of it. As a kept walking, I came across a few cars. One was a very old Jeep. I think that it was one of the first Jeeps ever made. It looked like the ones that they used during the war. I also found an old Mustang. My mom told me that the Mustang I found was the same year and design of the Mustang she owned before she married my dad.
I had a great weekend and even thought it was a little boring, I got a lot of really great pictures out of it. (The photos I took will be in a later post.)
