Ride Across Town With Benny

Benny and I headed out around 9:10 this morning. We stopped and took some pictures along the way. Stopped by our old house. Cody's dog was still there, and the little dog. Jesse's dog that is handicapped was there too. It is a killer dog, so we couldn't go inside. Looks like my vegetable garden was all dead, except for some green onions. The weeds have completely taken over the garden that I had planted before we moved out.

Benny noticed an old car on 9th Street, at the restaurant where John took him. We stopped and got some pictures of the blue 1932 Ford. I went inside and met the owner of the car. Asked him a few questions.

Made it to the cardiologist a few minutes early. Didn't take too long. The doctor said that Benny's heart is good. They didn't find any problems. On our way back home, we stopped and took lots of pictures.

Benny tried to climb a couple of trees. We admired the flowers and Japanese maples along the way. We rode around downtown Modesto. Took pictures of the murals on the outside of the Brandon Theatre. Got some pictures of the Double Tree, the huge clock, fountain, and more.

Benny found some old raildroad spikes and broken pieces of a train. Benny took a bunch of pictures of things he was interested in. We took pictures of more interesting cars, including a small auto repair shop with a bunch of Jaguars. The guy only works on Jaguars.

Stopped at the Lion Bridge and took some pictures. Took some pictures of Benny sitting on one of the lions. Benny took pictures of me standing on the lion.

I figure we must have rode about 22-23 miles today. I can sure feel the ride! I'm tired, but we survived the long ride. I got sunburned pretty good.
