Just another day on the coast…

We’ve been toying with idea of moving back to the Central Coast for quite some time now.  The plan originally was to be there by now, but health issues got in the way.  No big deal  realign, re-plan, try again.

We have managed to visit our old stomping grounds many times since we moved to the San Joaquin Valley in ’98.  Sometimes just for pleasure and relaxation, sometimes for other reasons, ie, my mother passed away last May…Pismo had been her and my father’s home for almost 40 years.  We were there this past Wednesday and Thursday.

These past two days, the weather was great, the time was short, but at least we had a chance to get away for a couple of days.  We ate some Splash Cafe chowder.  I took some photos.  And I saw some otters and dolphins swimming and feeding just beyond the breakers.  And the sunset was glorious from our perch on the cliffs above the Pacific at our motel, The Seacrest Resort.  And, yes, I got sand in my sandals!

That’s Loretta and our friend Pam at a wine tasting on the roof top patio.

The view from our room near sunset on the 4th floor.

In the morning just before we left.

Where we sit and have morning coffee and watch the ocean.

I’m heading to Seattle next week to visit Jen, Rowan, and Roth – but, our next trip to the Central Coast is not far off.
