Get a coffee, pastry, and take a stroll on the Bob Jones trail.

 First, I'd probably drink some coffee at home. I know I'm going to go to Linnaea's in a bit, but there's always room for more coffee. Since we live in SLO, we'll leave Sadie at home and pick her up before our stroll. Right now, we're going to relax downtown. Linnaea's is one of my favorite coffee shops. Importantly, the coffee itself is delicious and I thoroughly enjoy a deep, relaxing sniff of a toasty, warm coffee.

I love the hills, the grass, and the beautiful ocean views. And I always love seeing cute animals on the hike, like bunnies, Great Blue Herons, egrets, turkey vultures, and lots more.  Pictures don't do it justice . After, we'll drive a little further up the coast to Cambria to get a...
