An Afternoon in Morro Bay

In between all the rain and wind of the past few storms there have been a few days here and there where the clouds have parted and allowed us to enjoy a day in the sunshine.  We took advantage of one of those days to spend an afternoon in Morro Bay. This has always been one of my favorite places to visit on the Central Coast. 


We set off with our friends to walk out all the way around the bay to Morro Rock and then to the beach on the other side.






Of course I had to stop and say hello to the seagulls.




 Following our walk, we found ourselves in a cute, not so little, gift shop and nursery filled with a wonderful array of visual treats.  There were lovely indoor and outdoor spaces filled with displays of different ways to showcase plants,








 Themed spaces, each filled with decorating ideas and pictures,










 and delightful culinary books of all kinds.













 I could have spent an entire afternoon and not seen everything, but after an hour the boys said it was time to move on.

We finished our day back in the bay enjoying the sunshine before having an early dinner by the water.




It was the perfect ending to one of those wonderful days that make you smile when you look back on them.  God willing, we will be making many more of them in the weeks ahead.  Blessings to you.

    1. It was tempting but I didn't have a place to keep them.

  2. It's nice to enjoy the sunshine, isn't it. It's been fun to go 'window shopping' with you in those little shops. Love those clever wall planters shaped like jugs; got a little dizzy looking at them at first though.

    1. I really like those pots too. When I get home I may look for them in our local nursery. It think they would be fun on the deck fence.
