my mom finally made it to cali… March 15, 2008
Yes, that’s right. Laurie finally left the ball busting winter of Michigan for a few days of sun and fun in SLO, CA. We had a great time and I kicked her butt quickly with all the walking in my hilly little town. She can never remember how to pronounce places we went so I am writing it here to make up for her lack of memory.
We went to Pismo Beach, walked around and ate fish tacos.
We tasted wines at Edna Valley Winery.
We cruised our year-round, weekly farmers market and had dinner at California Pizza Kitchen with my friends.
We hit the night life a bit and hung out at my favorite Irish Bar, McCarthy’s.
We toured Hearst Castle.
We ate sushi and the restaurant made my mom a little pair of beginner’s chopsticks.
We shopped around town.
We are going to a St. Patty’s Day party tonight.
All in all she was quite the trooper. It was great to have her here! Below is a photo album of our trip to Hearst Castle.
