Haws and I decided to take a "babymoon" before little James arrives. We were going to go to Vegas, but decided San Luis Obispo was a better place for us to go in my current condition. We feel in love with the Central Coast of California. Haws kept saying how much he wanted to live here. Maybe someday honey :)
We forgot our camera, so we purchased one of those cheap disposable ones at the hotel. It was only 2 bucks and I think it worked pretty well.
The above picture was in downtown SLO. There is this random alley where everyone sticks their gum... it's called bubble gum alley. Go figure.
We ate at the best pizza/salad place in downtown. It is called Woodstocks and if you are here... you have to go! It is soooo good.
The next morning we headed to Cambria, walked along moonstone beach and around the shops in Cambria. There is a cool place called Linn's that Haws sat down and had some pie before lunch.
These gardens were outside of the place we had lunch. It wasn't that great so I am not even going to mention it. Pretty atmosphere though.
That is Haws down there by the rocks at Moonstone Beach.
We headed up north to see the famous elephant seals. This place is amazing! The seals just lay all over each other on the beach making weird noises. There are so many of them! You have to see it for yourself.
We did tour #1 at Hearst Castle. It was a good overview with some interesting facts about Mr. Hearst and the castle. The movie after was cool too. We didn't get a chance to take many pictures here. Since we had our cheap disposable camera it was hard to get good shots. Haws did a good job with this one though!
The next morning we went to brunch at the Madonna Inn. We didn't eat in this pink room, but isn't is crazy! It looks like someone threw up pepto bismol! This is a cool place to check out. The mens bathroom has a waterfall as the urinal and the food in the coffee shop/cafe was really good.
On our way back home we stopped at the Avila Barn. This place is awesome! It has a petting zoo and hay rides for the kids, a produce stand and bakery, a ice cream store and kitchen store and a store that has a bunch of cool kids toys. This is me modeling some of the products.
And if you haven't noticed... me belly is getting huge! It is funny to look back and see when I thought I was showing. What a joke! I am about 31 weeks in this pic. Mind you, I had been traveling all day so I am not looking my best.
Our trip had ended and we were back home. I am so glad we took this little weekend get away before the baby comes. I think it is so important that we still do things like this, just the two of us, even when he gets here. It is such a great way to reconnect. I love this man.

PS Where did you get that darling dress?
What a fun trip! I always say I want to retire in the Central Coast area. Been to Woodstocks many times, still haven't been to the Madonna Inn though. Glad you had such a good time.
glad you got to see the elephant seals! i used to like pics from my disposable cameras better than my real camera. i think it's because they don't show fine detail... ha ha glad you had fun!
yay! Everything looked so great. I miss you and Haws. I am glad things are going so well . You are a stinkin cute pregnant lady. I love the growly face belly picture :)
loves,
C
