Our relaxing weekend...




So, the hubby and I went to Avila Beach this last weekend for three days! It was great!

We found this great hotel near the beach that was set in sort of a forest/park-like area near the river. There was a walking/bike trail that lead from the hotel, through the golf course and down to the beach! It was 1.7 miles ONE WAY though. And for somone who sits at a desk for a living, that was quite a lot of walking! It was nice though to take a stroll together down such a scenic trail. We took lots of pictures, which I will hopefully post soon.

Our room at the hotel had our own jacuzzi tub on our private patio! The hubby really enjoyed that. His back has been sore from work, so this was a nice treat for him. We had a CA King bed (which wasn't very comfortable, by the way,) a large flat screen TV and CABLE! They brought breakfast to our room each morning and gave us cupons for complimentary glasses of wine at the bar.

On Saturday afternoon, we brought a pic nic lunch with us to the beach and spread out under the pier along with several other families and just people-watched. That evening, we went to McLintock's in Pismo for dinner. WOW! It had been a while since we'd been there and they give you SOOOOO much food! So, we ended up taking most of it home for the next day, but it was a nice treat to go out to eat.

Overall, I'd say that I would recommend this hotel to our friends looking for a quiet get-away. It's a little pricy, for us, but for a special occasion, it would serve people well I think.

It was a great weekend! One that the two of us really needed and we both had a fabulous relaxing time and enjoyed being together.
