Heading Home

It's time for the rest of us to head home. We decided to use the dump station at Morro Bay SP before leaving so we wouldn't need to do that chore in the heat of the valley. Our drive home was uneventful, the best kind. We happen to meet up with Julie and the DeLa Pena's at Carl's Jr. in Kettleman City on the way. It's always good to come home but we will sure miss the weather on the coast. Good-Bye Morro Bay!

Monday @ Morro Strand

Today we all went to lunch at Schooner's. Everyone enjoyed it. We all did a bit of house cleaning and resting since we have to head home tomorrow. We enjoyed our last campfire and some glow stick fun!

That was a Cayookie!

What Can I Say!

Yes, it is Iron Man Sam!

Father's Day - Morro Strand SB

It is a beautiful day here on the coast. Sunny and nice once the little bit of fog lifted. We saw some whales spouting today just off the coastline. No big breaches but we did see the backs of one or two. Jeff and Spencer caught a few more fish. Steven and Saira went home as did Vira and family, so it is pretty quiet here now. We had fish tacos for dinner as Deb and Sam faithfully feed us another delicious meal! Jeff's supervising the cooking of his fresh-caught fish!

A Busy Day @ Morro Strand

Saturday: Jeff, Frank, and Spencer went fishing and got more perch. Since it was sunny today everyone went down to the beach to watch them fish. They did get several perch again. I believe we are having fish tacos tomorrow night. Today was our big shrimp boil and crab feed. My friends C&T were spending the day at the coast so they came by to say "Hi" and stayed for the feast. Julianne and Steven finally got their chance to toss the football around! We also got 3 dozen oysters that ended up being quite a delicious addition. Steven shucked some to eat raw on the half shell, then in the evening he roasted or grilled them over our campfire. Butter, lime, tapatio, and perhaps other things were added, I'm not sure. Everyone enjoyed them and the 3 dozen are gone!

Friday: This morning it was foggy and seemed to remain so most of the day. Seems like the day was gone before it started! Deb and I ran a few quick errands in San Luis Obispo. It is a lovely little town, I would like to stroll around there for the day sometime. Jeff and Miranda arrived, then Steven and Saira, and lastly Sam's sister and more of their family members arrived. Jeff did some fishing and got a few perch. We had delicious Hobo Packs for dinner and a roaring fire afterwards. Before we knew it the day was over!

Morro Bay SP & Morro Strand SB

Wednesday: We took a nice look around the city of Morro Bay today but otherwise relaxed the rest relaxed the rest of the day. We did check out the various campsites and there are some really nice ones, very spacious, that would hold a couple of tents. 

Thursday: Time to pack up. We never did figure out how many quarters equal how much time but the showers here in the campground are nice enough and the water is hot. We didn't do a big cleaning/packing job because we are simply moving 12 miles north, up the coast, to Morro Strand. Since check out is 12p and check in is 2p our site at Morro Strand was still occupied. 

We know there is a decent place to park the trailer behind Duckie's in Cayucos so we headed up there for lunch. We tried a new (to us) place "Schooner's" and it was definitely delicious! The ocean views were limited but still very nice. By the time we got back our site was open and we got all set up. Deb, Sam, Spencer, Soren, and Julie arrived shortly thereafter. They have considerable more setup to do than we do, 1) It's a tent trailer. 2) There are 5 people with all their own things. 3) They bring grills and all sorts of nice things camping.

Today is Sam's BD. We had the plan to take them to Giovanni's for a BD dinner for him but since we found Schooner's the decision was made to go there. The kids stayed back in camp and we indulgently went and had a very nice dinner somewhat overlooking the ocean waves against the pier.   

This is the Cayookie --- Amazing!!!

I had just one bite and slipped into a food coma!

Morro Bay SP For The Day

Today we decided to stay around camp. We relaxed and had our coffee enjoying the refreshing morning air. It is sunny and nice. We talked about some upcoming travel we have planned and cleaned up files syncing with each other on our phones. (What did we do before Smart Phones?) I'm so thankful for my husband John in my life. He is one of my best friends. He is even pretty good at communication for a little while, when he begins to glaze over I know we are done chatting. He does his best, he is a man, which is why we women need women friends! Lunch was a filet, fresh squash, and tomatoes. I try to fix a filet when we camp, it's a nice treat and I have refined doing this in a frying pan and it comes out quite delicious. I tried crumbled bleu cheese on top today. I will add it sooner next time because it didn't melt. It was the desired taste however!  My photo is rather dark but trust me, it was not burnt!

During one of our walks we checked out the schedule for the Morro Bay Trolley. I didn't even know they had one! It is a nice little option, especially for people with motor homes or less mobile camping rigs. There are 3 routes and it looks like you could go basically anywhere in Morro Bay for a $3. day pass. Otherwise, a 1-way trip on any route is $1. I think Julie and the grandsons might like to try it out.
