Today Lisa & Cora took us to pick up the rental car, and then we headed off to Pismo Beach.
Although somewhat nervous before starting out, even with Stacey's expert driving tuition around Santa Clarita & Valencia, once on the freeway everything was really good. We drove west towards the coast to Ventura about 45 miles from Santa Clarita, and from there north on route 101 up through Santa Barbara, through the californian wine growing country, onto Pismo Beach. What a lovely place !!!
When we arrived, we were told there were 3 whales in the bay, and later when walking around we could see them "blowing" out in the bay. Also porpoise swimming around and coming out of the water.
Our room is on top of a cliff, looking out onto the Pacific, quite a view.
Having left the desert temperature of the high 80's in Santa Clarita, we are now in the high 70's / low 80's here on the coast, a bit more manageable for me.

Hi Andy & Jen
Wow looks absolutely stunning, I'm so jealous!! Have a fantastic time and we'll keep watching.
Luv Sue & Carey
Glad you arrived safely and that the Jet lag has subsided. The weather looks good and I'm happy to hear Dad has cooled off a tad.
Like the pics, did you see any vineyards on your way up?
Don't forget to make a mental note of all the 'stores' that stock Lucky Charms. You don't need to start buying them yet, just keep your eyes peeled so you can grab some on your way out.
