January 6 thru 11 , 2009

Tuesday 6th~~~ We like Pismo Beach as we have stayed here before a couple of times. This is where the people let the air out of their tires and drive on the sand with their big motor homes and campers pulling a trailer with their ATV's. Everyone is very friendly and it is fun to watch them come and go. We drove our truck on the beach where we watched a beautiful sunset. Then we went over to the Elk's and we talked to some people who are on the road also and then we went to our house on wheels to fix dinner and watch some television. Wednesday 7th~~~~Kent went to the hardware store and he worked on a few minor repairs, Sharon cleaned house. Thursday 8th~~~ We drove to one of our favorites steak houses "the Trading Post" for dinner. They cook over a wood fire pit and we like to sit by the fire and watch them cook our food. (pictures) This place is out in the boon docks and Obis't imagine how it got to be so famous being so far from any town.
Friday 9th~~~ We drove to San Luis Obispo to Kent's store ,"COSTCO" to have our pictures put on a disc, (130 pictures) so we can start fresh again with this trip South. From here we drove to "Morrow Bay State park" (pictures) before heading home for Sharon's famous " chicken and dumplings" for dinner. Saturday 10th~~~We walked on the beach today and Sharon with Kent's help, came back with 46 sand dollars. After Mass that evening, we went out for Pizza. The place wasn't very fancy or didn't seem very busy, while we sat there waiting for our pizza, all kinds of people showed up picking up their orders to go. We were the only ones to eat there, the crew was so fun and polite we really enjoyed the time watching them, plus the pizza was about the best we have found on the road. We think we are the world's best pizza critics, as we certainly are in a lot of different states and many pizza parlors. Sunday 11th ~~~~ We packed a picnic lunch that we ate on the Pier at Pismo Beach while we were watching the surfers, fisherman and a big pelican on the dock begging for fish bait from the fisherman.(picture) Next we drove home and walked the beach again picking up more sand dollars. That evening we went to the Elks Club for a few hours of Karioke singing. A friend of our told us about a good fish and chips resturant near here, so we went there for a late evening dinner. We are leaving here in the morning, heading for Santa Barbara.
