But instead of dreading it this year. I looked FORWARD to it. We had been able to set some money aside and so we planned a beach vacation. This was the first time we had been able to take a complete family vacation that included everyone in my home. So three adults, three kids and two dogs piled into our van and drove to Morro Bay California.
Morro Bay is my favorite place to go to. It's where I went when I was a kid and when I drive over the hill into Morro Bay and see Morro Rock in it's splendor, it feels like home (well my second home anyway!).
I rented two rooms at Motel 6. My Mom, one of my kids and a dog in one and Myself, my girlfriend, two kids and a dog in the other. It was a tight squeeze but we did it. Because we stayed at Motel 6, we were able to stay for four nights. Sure, I'd love a more expensive hotel but while you're at the beach, you're not really at the hotel that much anyway so why pay more???
We visited areas in Morro Bay, drove to San Luis Obispo a couple of times (you've got to go to The Madonna Inn, eat at the Copper Cafe and have some pink champagne cake. it's to die for!), Pismo Beach, Grover City and Caycucos.
All in all, it was a great vacation. Did it get crazy at times with so many people? You betcha. Did it sometimes get stressful? Oh yeah. But I'd rather have some stress at the beach then have it at home.
I loved my vacation and my partner and my kids did too.
Here are a few pictures from our trip:
