We drove from San Francisco to San Diego, and then back.............
Mostly it's all on the same road - the famous I-5, or, as it is known in Los Angeles, "THE FIVE"... through California's Great Central Valley... that feeds all of America...
Productive - yes... Interesting? Well, not so much.
BUT THEN - - a sign - -
50 miles to PEA SOUP ANDERSON'S ..... well, wowee, why didn't you tell me?
25 miles..................10 miles.... and then, finally.................
Actually, believe it or not, its a CHAIN - - a PEA SOUP CHAIN !!!!
And, as the placemat assures you, there's one near you !
So - what do they sell?
Well, according to Wikipedia, they sell 500-600 GALLONS of split pea soup DAILY !!!!
YOWEE.........
and a whole bunch more 'comfort' foods.
And outside there's a big windmill you can see from far away................
The soup............................ green, isn't it?
the obligatory 'kitschy' stuff:
The "pea" jokes:
SO - YOU MIGHT ASK - DID WE EAT PEA SOUP ?
WELL, ACTUALLY,
WE USED THE RESTROOMS AND HEADED UP THE ROAD...........
AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY "PEA PEE" JOKES !!
'TIL NEXT TIME - THEN WE WILL SHOW UP HUNGRY

Remember it well! Not as a destination, rather a welcoming homey sort of place. Our kids put their faces through the Sweet Pea and Pee Wee sign... got pictures of that somewhere. Fond memories. Thanks for sharing.
Hugs
