Things I LOVE about SLO

Well, we've been here for a few weeks now, and I've discovered a few really cool things to do here in SLO.

First, we took our dog, Macey to a beach called Morro Bay. It was so beautiful and she LOVED it! Here are a few pictures from our adventure:






This is just some surfer... but I thought it turned out good



Patrick and Macey dog


Morro Rock (for which the beach is named)


There were sand dollars everywhere on this beach


She looks so stinkin' huge next to me!

Also, every Thursday night they have a huge farmer's market in downtown SLO. They have amazing fresh produce (like the yummy corn and strawberries we got) and they also have fun events. When we were there a few weeks ago they had a truck set up with fake snow and people were snowboarding! It was hilarious!

Look like a fun place. Is the beach really that deserted?

Well.. it was that day! I've driven by when it was busier, but since the water is so cold here the beaches aren't as packed as say, Florida beaches.

I'm so glad you're lovin' your new little town! Sounds fun! And the pictures are gorgeous.

Did you know "morro" is the Portuguese word for "hill"?!

That dog looks like a pony next to you.

Lorie- I didn't know that.. I'll have to tuck that bit of info away. (I looked it up in Spanish, but it means snout. hmmm)

Bobby- the most common comment we get is, "Do you have a saddle for that horse?"
