I do not not know what exactly I was expecting, but Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch did not impress. 
We were looking at other things to do on our way to Anaheim, so my sister found Elmer’s Bottle Tree Ranch on the internet, and we were off. It was a lot of winding road, and what you see is what we saw. When I thought of trees made with bottles I guess I expected more…whatever more is.
When is the last time you were underwhelmed? By the way, we’re all glad we went anyway.

Geez, I hope y'all didn't spend a fortune for that. The Chinese food I had yesterday was underwhelming. I didn't want to spend 10.00 more to get what I really wanted so I went with a different dish on the lunch menu, and it was not that great..not like the one I wanted would have been. At least it was a learning experience. I am not going to order that dish again.

It was free, don’t worry! We only went after we found out it was free. I wish you could have heard our laughter when we pulled up.
I’m sorry the meal was disappointing yesterday. I was disappointed this afternoon when my BIL wanted to eat at Denny’s. And then…I had the Sizzlin’ Bourbon Glazed Chicken with roasted broccoli, mushrooms, potatoes, onions and peppers. I was absolutely shocked how delicious it was. I mean, Denny’s?

@AmbiePam Denny's is pretty good. it is probably like IHOP though better in some locations than others due to whether it is a franchise IHOP or independently owned. The IHOPs that are by friends are excellent, and the one in Richmond is good. There is one in this county though...not so hot.

Oh, you went on a cloudy day! When Pretty and I went there it was a bright, sunny day and everything seemed to sparkle and shine. It was really pretty... Granted, that was several years ago. (I think it was in 2019 but I could be off a year or two.)
I hope you're all enjoying the trip so far.

Amber, are those trees… made of sticks… and bottles? I can’t see very well.
Interesting.
You in New Mexico? My Uncle Ronnie lives there.
Very “crafty” state. Try to visit the caves if you can, they’re loaded with bats. I believe they’re in Carlsbad. If you’re in New Mexico.
Enjoy your travels

That definitely was underwhelming.
I have to think about it. I can easily call something disappointing when it really is, but underwhelming, I don’t think I’ve considered.
