When Pehrson got back from his trip we decided to go on a little two day get away. We drove up to Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo. It was absolutely beautiful. And it almost felt like we were in another state or country. SO much green every where and open space.
Our first stop was a hike called Bishops Peak. It was just gorgeous. The pictures don't do it justice.
Beck was ready to get down.
We found a nice little hotel in Morro Bay for the night.
And the next day we explored this town. We went to the beach, Pehrson surfed but it was WAY too cold. He went out caught one wave and then came back in. Beck and I just stayed in the car and watched. =]
This cowboy asked Pehrson if he was gonna go knee boarding...HA
After that we headed up to Hearst Castle. It's a huge castle on top of the hill overlooking the pacific coast. Here is the main part of the castle
and here is the view from Hearst's front yard. WOW!
he had two pools one inside and one out.
There were antiques and statues that he collected from all over the world. This guy was loaded.
It's a california national park now. So you have to go on a guided tour. It was really cool but probably just a one time thing for us. And it didn't hurt that it was an absolutely gorgeous day! After the castle we went to an elepahant sea lion beach i had no idea there would be this many...
Then we went to pismo beach. I had never been there and it was such a cute little beach town. P and i loved it there. We ate at a cute little cafe and then checked out the beach. And yep you guessed it...P had to go in. Again...it was way too cold for my fancy. Almost everyone out there was wearing hoods and booties. But it was beautiful
and i was able to watch pehrson from the pier while beck and I talked about life.
and enjoyed the sunset
There are so many fun things to do in california, we have barely even scraped the surface. I love these little getaways, exploring a new city with my boys.

The pictures of Beck when you two were talking about life are incredible. That kid is so legit.
I love the black and white face shot of Beck...and the ones of you "talking" about life. He is so expressive! What a fun get away!
fun!! gorgeous pics and gorgeous little family!
I have a million questions!
How far a drive was it to Hearst Castle? I went there once when I was a kid and we lived in San Jose and I loooooved it. I'd want to go back.
How did Beck do in the carseat for the drive?
What kind of camera do you have? I'm in the market for a new one and yours is stellar.
Looks like such a fun couple days! Gotta live it up during the hubby's short breaks!
cute cool pismo is my absolute favorite place in the world! my grandparents live in san luis obispo in a house right before the trail to bishops peak. send my love to beck and p!
When you grow up in Fresno, you always go to Pismo. you guys actually caught it on a nice day for waves. they usually are horrible.
Tell Pehrson I love the pic of him snaking the other guy!!
So fun! You look great Kate! That castle looks amazing!
I think the comment by "jill" is actually by me.
My husband and I are both from San Luis Obispo. If you ever go back and want some awesome surf spots just let us know!!!
