It's been a couple years since we went to the Central Coast. We were able to get away from the heat for a few days before being welcomed home to nearly 100 degree weather!
First pit stop: Firestone
Lucas's super loose tooth fell out during dinner
Grandma with the kids
Second pit stop: Doc Burnstein's
Firestone's and Doc Burnstein's are two of our go-to places every time we're down here. We tend to come when school is still in session so downtown SLO is pretty slow and quiet.
Pismo Beach
On day two, we went to the beach and Pismo pier. At around 10 in the morning, the beach was pretty empty, hence the clean background.
Lunch @ Wooly's (with the nice ocean view)
Sometimes it sucks being the third child

Resting (and taking a break from Evangie) at the hotel lobby
On day three, we took a one hour drive south to Solvang. There really wasn't much to do in this small, tourist-trap Danish town. There were these butter cookies we bought. I wish I tried one there because they WERE THE BEST BUTTER COOKIES IN THE WORLD! When we left Solvang, I said I wasn't going to come back. Boy was I wrong! Those cookies are worth it!
Took a tour around the downtown area

Ate at a restaurant in Pismo on the way home
On the final day of our trip, we went to Avila Farms where we got to ride a tractor to the field, eat corn, feed animals, and I think that's it.

... and that was our summer SLO trip!
