My husband knows how obsessed I am with these wonderful animals so he surprised me on our 32nd anniversary with a visit. Julie was so nice and informative. It was about 105 degrees and Julie took extra care that I didn’t get overheated. I wasn’t scared feeding them (they don’t bite). Julie took some great photos. I’d love to go again, albeit when the weather cools down.

We went to St. Catherine of Alexandria church for Mass when we stayed in Temecula. The people of this parish were very welcoming & made us feel right at home. There were many families with children as well as older couples & teenagers too. We were so happy to find a place to attend church during our visit to this area & feel so welcome in a strange place.

Great winery with a cute farmhouse vibe. They always have lots of fun events going on so check their website before visiting. Wines are good and the wine club membership is reasonable. When you purchase a tasting you get an amazing array of breads to go with each wine! I would definitely recommend!

Great out door activity while keeping social distance. After staying home for over two months, we can’t wait to go out when the government announced to slowly opening up the society. We took advantage of the opening and went to Temecula Berry Farm to get some out door activities while still staying safe. This farm is not too far a drive from LA. It took us only an hour to get to this place. The farm has safety in place to protect the visitors. All their workers there wore masks and provided hand washing station at the exit. The Farm also provided free parking with plenty of spaces. Since the farm is very big, we were able to keep our distance from other visitors. For picking the your own blue berries, the farm charged $5 for a small basket and $10 for a larger one. We were so excited for our first outing since the lock down. Seeing so many lie berries hanging from the short trees, we didn’t know where to begin as we picked whatever came into our views first. We ended up picking a lot of raw ones. At the end, we learned that we have to look under trees to pick the deep blue ripe berries. But who cares, we were just thrilled to get out of the house. We did brought back a full bucket of blue berries for our breakfast the next day.

Though we did not go inside, we loved the architecture of this building, and was so pretty being lit up for Christmas and NY's eve. There was a portable ice rink just below the steps, and was a delight to see happy families enjoying it. The water feature and fountain so pretty, not to mention the beautiful Christmas tree. There was live music on the steps on NY's eve, which was fantastic - lots of people dancing, swaying and having fun. A number of people were really organised with camp chairs and tables with their eats and drinks. Everyone was well behaved !! We stayed till midnight, when the bunch of grapes "dropped" marking the beginning of 2020. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
