Father's Day in Pismo

As has become our tradition since 2010, we spent our third consecutive father's day in Pismo Beach.  If you have followed this blog, you are aware that I once lived in Grover Beach right next door to Pismo.  Coming here brings back a lot of memories and let's face it, this is just a FUN, FUN, FUN place to be!  There is a HUGE classic car show here every father's day weekend and really becomes one of the highlights of the weekend.  Arroyo Grande just across the 101, has wonderful antique shopping (I guess I really am that gay - j/k :-) and the ocean is an ever present distraction during good weather.  This year we once again stayed at Pismo Sands RV park in Oceano.  This weekend turned out to be one of the most beautiful (weather wise) that we have spent here.  Here's a Saturday picture of the pier in Pismo.  Notice the beautiful blue sky.

This is the second year that we have taken our motorcycle along.  Once we parked the truck and unloaded the bike, we pretty much rode everyplace we went.  Shopping, antiquing (NO, I'm NOT gay), out to eat, etc.  We took a bit of a ride on Sunday up to SLO to check out some interesting places.  SLO is only about 15 miles north of Pismo and is a wonderful destination in itself.  Anyhow, here's our motorcycle carrier setup.

Pismo is one of those spots where we can get back to the RV early for some wonderful relaxation (I'm resisting using the word 'fabulous').  Sandy and I are sticklers for eating only healthy foods and both of us enjoy a nice home cooked meal consisting of wholesome, non processed foods.  Red meat?  YOU BET!  Here's Saturday night's supper.  New York steak, bell peppers and home grown jalapenos.  Mmmm, Mmmm!

Of course, many will remember that this is also our anniversary weekend.  Our new favorite anniversary restaurant is Steamers on Price street in Pismo.  Always the food is great - almost as good as the beautiful lady that escorts me.

Wonderful trips must eventually come to an end, so pack up we must and hit the road to home.  Until next time, keep the shiny side up and the fire kindled.
