WHERE'S WENDY? Round 12

Doug, 3, and Charlie, 5, all geared up for a local parade, July 1, 2007.

by Wendy Perrin

I'm still in a state of astonishment that Tracker1312 managed to figure out, in fewer than 40 minutes, where I was in the last WHERE'S WENDY? round.  After a week-long business trip spent first on a ship in the Mediterranean and then driving through Spain, I'm now reunited with my husband and kids.

Parade
In the boys' wagon were 50 pounds of Tootsie Rolls (each wrapped in American-flag wrapping, naturally), which Tim helped the boys throw to the kids watching yesterday's early-July-4th parade.

Where am I?  A couple more clues:

Horses
If you're standing at this city's railroad tracks, this is what one end of town looks like.

And this is what the other end looks like.

Where am I?  Name the city and state.

Congrats LoriB...you beat me to it. How did you figure it out?

I had a hunch the trip was about family, and figured it out from there. Got lucky with the pic though : 0)

I'll say you got lucky with the picture! I think that's the *only* picture of that town before Wendy took hers. Google "Penngrove, California" and you'll see what I mean. LOL

Yes I think Google liked ME for a change yesterday LOL.
Those small town 4th of July parades are the best.
Wendy I hope you enjoy some time relaxing with the family!

Kudos to LoriB, who managed to figure out in less than an hour that I was in Penngrove, CA, on Sunday. Okay, there are only three rounds left to this game, so I'm gonna have to come up with some real brainteasers from here on in. It's not easy trying to stump you guys!
