Back to the routine

D and R came, saw and went! We had a great visit with them. They arrived Monday evening in time for dessert. I had made a half cake each of a sour cream mocha chocolate cake and carrot cake plus a pumpkin bread for breakfasts. We stayed up and caught up with each other Monday evening. Tuesday was a full morning of exercise. D & R braved the fitness center and took both the B-fit class (aerobics on a mini trampoline) plus my T'ai Chi class. They did exceptionally well in both. We then went for a 5 mile walk. After a tasty lunch of wrap sandwiches, we took off for San Luis Obispo and the mission. We took the long way to SLO traveling over See Canyon Road to see the beautiful vistas from the mountain top of the SLO valley and the coastline from Montano de Oro to Guadalupe. Although the mission was closed we were able to check out the grounds, the gardens and the gift shop. We strolled about the center of town before heading off to Morro Bay. After a brief walk around the center of town we went to dinner at the Great American Fish Company for a terrific meal. Thank you D&R! On Wednesday after a spinning class at the fitness center, we headed off for the beach and visited the monarch butterfly grove. The butterflies are beginning to return. We returned via the beach and visited the St. Barnabas Thrift shop, then off for a quick tour of Arroyo Grande and lunch at the Rock and Roll Diner. We had a great visit - all too fast, but lots of fun.
