PCH Road Trip Day 4 – SLO to Santa Barbara

Okay, this will be quick as  sleep sounds so appealing.  :-)  Today, we did a little shopping in San Luis Obispo (SLO).  Troy did not think he’d need to pack any shorts for some reason and decided, given the 95 degree temperature at 11am, that he did indeed need some.  So, we hit up the Gap between Higuera and Marsh Streets and got him some.  :-)  I, in the meantime, made myself not give in to the temptation to buy up some really cute baby gap outfits (given that we do have Gap in Texas as well!).  Hee!

Anyway, we left SLO and drove into Pismo Beach, stopped there for a while to take in the pier and the beach, then left and drove through Arroyo Grande and then through Buellton to Solvang (Danish Capitol of the U.S.).  We saw ostriches in Buellton…random…and Solvang was a cute little town…different, supposed to be like a mini-Denmark.  Then, we drove to Santa Barbara and checked in at our hotel…Hotel Mar Monte across from East Beach.  We took a walk on the beach and saw the end of sunset and then went to get some dinner at Deano’s Pizzarama, a local establishment that’s been around since 1960.  Good stuff.  Then, back to the hotel to rest a bit, enjoy some ice cream from the Rite Aid we stopped at near the pizza place, and get a post up here on the blog.  ;-)  So, off to bed now.  Night!
