Being I have had just about enough of exec life, I woke up Saturday morning and asked the wife to pack a few quick things as we are going on a road trip No plans, no hotels booked just go. She smiled and said OK.
So I headed South along the Cal coast. First stop was a little town called Solvang. Its a Dutch themed town. Interesting little place and my missus thought it was nice. she grabbed up a few pastries and chocolate. I stopped by the brewery and had a beer.
50 miles further south we drove to Santa Barbara. Did not really stay as it is a nice town but we did not stop and take any pics. We had lunch. We decided to head back North to Pismo beach. We found a nice resort over looking the Ocean called the Seacrest. the day was a beauty. Nice breeze off the ocean. We took a walk on the beach towards the pier and downtown Pismo Beach. We stopped at Steamers Bar and Grill and shared a big bowl of Cioppino and a few Margaritas.
My wife really liked the beach walk and the dinner.
This morning we got up at 5:30a and took a walk along the beach. The above view was the morning shot from the room. Crisp and cool.
We headed back to Northern Calif. The missus really liked the impromptu trip albeit a bit pricey but we agreed not everything should be a planned trip.
