We decided to get the heck out of Dodge for the 4th of July and go some place cooler. Martin came up with the great idea to go down to Los Osos and stay with Idee and Theresa and see the fireworks at the coast. So on Thursday, we packed up the car and drove out to the beach. We spent the afternoon on the beach in Cambria, where it couldn't have been warmer than 70 degrees! Then we drove into San Luis Obispo for the Thursday Night Farmer's Market. It was SO crowded, seems everyone had the same idea, but as luck would have it, so did some old friends! We ran into Jeff and Katerina Levine (and their boys Daniel and Alec) in Bubble Gum Alley. Jeff and Martin went to Jewish Camp together when they were seven or eight years old and remained friends through high school. What was odd about running into them, is that they now live in Ohio! We spent the following evening down at Morro Bay together to watch the fireworks, and even took advantage of generous family babysitting to meet up on Saturday night without the kids to visit. It has probably been around seven years since we've seen each other, so it was really nice to catch up. Sadly, I didn't get a photo of their family (what's wrong with me!) Here's a collection of various coastal activities over the last few days. Sadly, we've come back to the Central Valley to even hotter weather! 110 degrees tomorrow! Bleck!
I really liked this funky little painted house!
