Central Coast Cycling Circuit... anniversary trip


Spent a lovely anniversary weekend down south, biking around, touring breweries, sampling food, and staying with warm showers hosts.  We took care of Thomas and Camille the weekend before, so Alexis and Mi-Suk took Kai and Nikko in for this weekend. 

Morning snuggles...
Breakfast of champions on Piedmont Ave.
On our way down we stopped by James and Courtney's place in San Jose which they've been remodeling for almost a year... the place was almost unrecognizable from the outside.
And the inside was totally unrecognizable.  Beautiful house!
They had the right beer for me
And on our way down to the campsite we stopped at a brewery.  Our first of the tour.  Their pretzles were amazing...
And had some yummy sushi near by: https://www.yelp.com/biz/kuma-sushi-los-osos
And we got a tiny plate of desert. 
We arrived in the dark and we got up the next morning and got going.  Didn't get to hang out much at Montana de Oro.  We camped at the group site a few years ago with the Wash U kids when Kai broke his arm...
Then we drove to Celia's for brekky...

And soon we were off...
Avila beach pier

Soooo many kayaks...

We visited the Avila Valley Barn where we had some snacks and saw some animals.  http://avilavalleybarn.com/ The kids would've like this place.
Hey Eli and Emi!

Looks like some great sea kayaking
Our second brewery of the tour.  Bittersweet brewery.  Not too bad... don't need to go back.  https://www.yelp.com/biz/bittersweet-brewing-grover-beach?osq=brewery
