Morro Bay

My parents, Amanda, and Evelyn came down the end of July to visit us and to celebrate Evelyn's first birthday. While they were here, we headed to the coast to Morro Bay, for a few days. Most of these pictures are Amanda's she took 1.5 GB of pictures while she was here.

I was dancing around the house the morning before we left for Morro Bay so Manda snapped a picture

Amanda gave Evelyn some shaving cream to distract her while she got her hair done. Besides wiping it all over the mirror, she ate some too.

This was our first morning in Morro Bay.

We stayed in our friends, the Johnson's beach house. They had a bunch of pictures in frames on a shelf and for some reason, they had an empty frame. So Quin and I ran to the drug store and got a print of us and put it in the frame. They said they were so surprise when they saw it among their family photos. They have left it there and we are now their adopted children.

I don't know who had more fun, Quin or Evelyn. These two were having a blast with each other the whole time.

We belatedly (like 5 mins after) realized that Evelyn found this fork on the ground.

This is our favorite place to eat in Morro Bay. They have great fish and chips and clam chowder in sour dough bread bowls. Yum that is one of the best things about going to the coast, the delicious fresh seafood!

Quin and Evelyn had matching shoes

We went out to Morro Rock and walked around. My mom stayed in the car with Evelyn


One day we went to Hurst Castle. It was pretty cool, but we all agreed it was over the top.

This is just one of the swimming pools.

I am glad that we went, the grounds were beautiful and it was kind of cool to see all these priceless artifacts.

We went to see some Elephant Seals

Here we took a walk through the Eucalyptus forest to the shore. The smell is amazing and when you get back in the car, you can still smell it because of the oils on your shoes.

We didn't get many pictures of my parents for some reason, but here is a fun one of us walking back through the forest.
We later went to a different part of the shore and played in some tide pools. Later that day we went to the beach. I wished we had gotten some pictures of that. It was cold and overcast. Manda and Quin were crazy enough to go play in the waves though. I just laid on the beach and slept while my parents went back to the car and took a nap with Evelyn.

We had so much fun, I am so glad they came to visit!
