We just got back a few days ago from our spring break visit to Grandma and Grandpa's house in Arroyo Grande. The first thing we did was hit the farmer's market behind the village along the creek on Saturday afternoon. So much to choose from-- strawberries, artichokes, greens, onions, apples, honey, oranges, tomatoes, beans, asparagus, eggs, brussel's sprouts, and broccoli. We bought lots and managed to eat most of it.
Our week included all the ritual visits -- Avila Beach, Doc Bernstien's Ice Cream, the park on the hill, and several trips to San Luis Obispo to visit our favorite bakery, the toy store, the children's museum, the mission, Moondoggies, Mo's BBQ, and the yarn shop.
To top it all, we took a trip to the Monterey Aquarium, which was very cool-- huge impressive tanks and ocean views.
We also explored picturesque Carmel and a little bit of the Pebble Beach golf course. After driving through the Salinas Valley and seeing Cannery Row, Jack and I will be reading more Steinbeck. We were also lucky enough to have perfect weather too.
On our last day in Arroyo Grande Jack and I took a scenic drive through the rural
landscape further inland.Saturday morning we left in fog and mist while taking our leave of the vineyards, the grazing cattle on the rolling green hills, the gnarled oaks, and blue ocean. We had a great time!
