Morro Strand State Beach Campground


June 14-19, 2018

14-19: Morro Strand State Beach Campground, sites 75 & 76. This is our traditional trip to the coast with the family on Father's Day weekend. Jeff always has Miranda and he loves to fish, so this is the choice. Deb likes to hear the waves at night to sleep as well. The campsites are small and "not special" but the location is premium. We often get the ocean side but this time even trying 5 months in advance, we could only get the city side. It still works out fine. This time we had us, Julianne,  Deb, Sam, Spencer, Steven, and Saira. Julie had work on Monday so she went home with Steven and Saira on Sunday afternoon after watching the World Cup game and having shrimp tacos. During our time there is it also Sam's birthday. We celebrated at Schooner's in Cayucos - one of our favorites. We typically eat there at least once when on the coast. We also like House of JuJu and Giovanni's, we ate at both. We got fresh oysters Saturday night, Steven and Jeff grilled them on the fire and we had assorted sauces for our toppings. We are never that hungry after eating the big meal at Schooner's for lunch that day. The weather was great most of the time but the wind really kicked up Monday and actually drove us indoors for part of the time. It certainly was no weather to play Uno and even Yahtzee was hard to control. Sharon and her friend Sandy are bringing granddaughter's Rylee and Emery to see Hearst's Castle so they had a long drive but did stop to see us for a little bit before heading to their hotel.  Thankfully the wind died down by evening and was just starting to pick up when we departed on Tuesday morning. Deb wanted to stay and be sure we were hooked up and on our way before they left. After leaving Morro Strand we back tracked to Morro Bay State Campground to empty our waste tanks and replenished our water tans. Now we are on our way to Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park.
