The Missus and I went to the Central Coast this past weekend. Affordable lodging at Vandenberg AFB. We hit Pismo Beach and Oceano Dunes. The Monarch Butterfly Grove was quite interesting. The wind was very strong on the beach though. We did walk it for quite awhile. The wind surfers were out as well as the RV and OHV crowd.
On the way home yesterday, we stopped at The Firestone Walker Brewery in Paso Robles and picked up a tasty treat!
