Lately I’ve been getting work up in the central coast area which has been really fun because our family loves to travel up there. Chris used to travel there a lot when he worked for Odwalla, so its fun now when I get to go there for work. This time I had to work in San Luis Obispo and we had some free nights that needed to be used so we decided to make a family get-away out of it. We left Thursday after school and didn’t come home until Sunday evening. With me being released from Primary now I didn’t even have to worry about getting someone to cover for me.
We rushed up on Thursday after school so we could make it in time for the Farmers Market. I just love the Farmers Market up there. It is huge and so much fun to see all the farmers that come to sell their produce. The kids like the samples too!
The next day was pretty uneventful because I had to work. We went to our favorite bagel place for breakfast though and Chris took the kids back to the hotel while I worked. After work we went to the downtown area and walked around. We looked at the mission and the creek that runs through the center of the city. Maddie had done her mission project on the San Luis Obispo mission so it was fun to finally get up close to it.
The next morning we tried a breakfast place that looked like it had been through a time warp. It was a dive next to out hotel but after looking at yelp we thought we’d give it a try. It was called Margie’s Diner. The portions were huge and the food was actually very good.
Then we headed to a really neat State Park called Montana de Oro. It was a beautiful drive and the coast was gorgeous. The kids jumped out of the car and started to explore. It was a little overcast and cold but they didn’t seem to mind. They had so much fun playing with rocks and looking for sea life. We could have spent hours there.
They had a cute old home that was a museum with artifacts from the area.
On our way back to our hotel we stopped at Rite Aid and enjoyed some Thrifty’s ice cream, even Libby got to enjoy some!
That night we were crazy enough to go to the pool. Keep in mind its like 50 degrees outside. It was heated though so it was pretty enjoyable.
The next day we packed up our things and headed out. It was great to take a few days to spend as a family and just have fun.
We had one last pit stop at a view point just north of Santa Barbara, the sky was blue and the ocean looked gorgeous.
looooove this picture!
