Morro Bay

After two weeks of being sick (the first week Josh, the second Abbie,) we jumped in the car after church and headed south. We ended up in Morro Bay - a beautiful, secluded fishing village and touristy(ish) destination. Thanks to the internet, we secured a top notch motel (Best Western) a block from the beach :-)

The large rock/mountain in the back of some of the pictures is actually a volcanic plug. The rock itself is several acres large and over 500 ft tall (Wikipedia). It's also home to a large variety of birds - as we saw a ton of bird watchers.

Anyhow, enough geology. Here are the kids.
