Avila Beach

After we were done in Morro Bay we went out to lunch and then headed to San Luis so John and Vincent could use their Christmas Gift of a Barnes and Noble gift card. I stayed in the car with Nicholas since he had fallen asleep and didn't see any reason to wake him when I knew he could get a good nap in while Vincent and John were in a book store (and if any of you know my husband and son, you know what I mean!). After they got back to the car from the book store we were going to head home, but we were having so much fun that we decided to head on for more fun and go to the Avila Barn and go to their petting zoo, and then walk the trail to the beach. The Barn was closed so we just drove the rest of the way down to the beach ourselves. We walked out the pier and the kids thought it was great. That was until Eliza realized that when she looked down between the planks there was water. She stopped dead in her tracks and cried for someone to save her. She got a ride on her daddy's shoulders after that. After we made it to the end of the pier, my mom bought everyone an ice cream and we sat on some concrete slabs and enjoyed being out over the ocean.
