We went to visit our friends at GoWesty a couple weekends
ago so Gypsea could get a check-up, my
mom could get a cup holder console, and
I could get some stickers. We had a little time in the afternoon to
explore, while GoWesty was taking care of business, so we walked down the road
in search of food.
Our first stop was at
a
local bike shop.
We chit-chatted a bit and
bought a couple of reflective bracelets.
These are actually pretty cool because they are big enough to wear
around your ankle if desired, which would be perfect for running as well as
biking.
As we continued our journey, our next stop was the gift shop
Thyme and Chance.
We just happened to pass by it and we just
happened to find a really neat California map tea towel.
After our tea towel shopping spree, we were
kindly pointed in the direction of the Baywood Park restaurants.
Deciding which place to eat at was a
challenge at first because there were so many great options, but then we found
Good Tides Organic Bistro and we knew that was the spot for us.
We ordered and shared the Veggie Scramble,
Sweet Potato Waffles, Mexican Cafe Mocha, and Kids Size Hot CoCo.
All of it was fantastic!
This place is so charming and the owner has
really created some unique, delicious, and vegetarian/vegan friendly
options.
After we relaxed a little at Good Tides, we hiked it back up
to GoWesty and got the scoop on a quick, but awesome hike located close to the
GoWesty headquarters.
This trail features pygmy
oak trees that only reach about 12 feet in height.
This was a really interesting self guided
tour that had labeled markers to identify the unique plant species, dirt trails,
a magical picnic area, and stunning views.
The hike takes no time at all, but it's worth every minute.
So, where's the link to check it out and get
directions you may be asking?
You'll just have to go into
GoWesty and ask Ted for the details.
Also, grab some stickers while you're there.
Of course we couldn't waste a weekend at the beach, so we
decided to stay an extra day and camp for the night.
In the morning we made stops
to the
Avila Valley Barn (it has always been
a dream of mine to spend one summer there making pies all day long), a quilt
shop in Pismo, another quilt shop in Morro Bay, and
Linn's in Cambria to pick
up both a sweet and a savory pie as a little treat for my grandparents.
Not a bad way to spend a couple of days.
