California Trip Day 6 - San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach

My kids love a fountain

Misson San Luis Obispo

Gabby was the only one brave enough to stay in the water for more than a few seconds.

This day ended up being a bit unplanned. We were attempting to go to the Channel Islands but at the last minute they cancelled the boats due to the condition of the stairs on the island so we had to shift the next couple of days a bit. Even after we left we intended to go to the Discovery Science Center in LA that afternoon but opted instead to go to Pismo Beach and relax a little. We slept a little later after discovering Sam sleeping happily on the floor under the pull-out sofa. We toured the mission in San Luis Obispo for a little California history and then headed for the beach. It was cold, to say the least, but sunny and nice. The sand was warm but the water sure wasn't. Only Gabby's intense love of the ocean kept her in the water for quite a while. Sam was done after a few minutes and liked playing in the sand with me better. After a nice, relaxing few hours we headed out to get right in the middle of LA traffic so it took us quite a while to get to our hotel for the night. Oh well - life isn't perfect!
