Santa Margarita Barn - The Great Ranchos!
There is such a rich history to San Luis Obispo, California. It wasn’t always a college town; it wasn’t always a kayaking hotspot; or a wine destination. For years SLO County was occupied by the Chumash people. They moved to the region between 10,000 and 5,000 BC and had villages all along the

Morro Bay Shopping
I was recently in Morro Bay for a bit of shopping. I was looking for some ideas, inspiration, and hopefully purchases to fuel a major upcoming event. Let me just say, for a fairly small town (population: 10, 350 people), Morro Bay has some killer shopping.

Central Coast Food Tours - a MUST!
I was recently lucky enough to be one of the super special, lucky people to get a preview food tour of SLO with Central Coast Food Tours. I don’t mean to harp on this, but have I told you how lucky we are?! Lucky that we live in a gorgeously spectacular place; lucky that the people who choose to

The Best Thursday Evening Around
When I was a kid growing up in SLO County, I LOVED the Farmer’s Market. Every Thursdays we’d bundle all together and set off for San Luis.

SLO Mission
As a part of every fourth grade class, students across California study “California History” (side note: when I was a kid, I thought this was standard curriculum across the United States – I was a bit disappointed to discover later in life that schools outside of CA didn’t value our history as much
