On February 24th Ethel and I left the house at 10:00 am to drive down to Alden's then Alden took us to the Santa Fe Depot where we boarded the Amtrak which left at noon to go to San Luis Obispo. It was a great trip with many 2 or 3 minute stops. We arrived at San Luis Obispo at 8:15 pm. We were greeted by Moreene and Bob Allen and transported to their beautiful home. The bed was very welcomed as we were very tired. The next day we went down to the beach which was about 1 mile from their home. They were great hosts and drove us to so many places. We went to Morro Bay and had lunch there, we went to see the Monach butter flys at Pismo Beach. Saturday Feb. 27 we went to the pancake breakfast then we were introduced to Mareene and Bob's daughter and family. They live on a large ranch with horses and dogs. Then we went to the wine country and had wine tasting and lunch. Toured a sculpture park then on our way home we stopped at Madonna Inn, what a beautiful place.
Sunday morning we were awakened up at 5:00 am to get ready to return home to San Diego as the train left SLO at 6:50 am. We had several delays to wait for other trains etc. We arrived at the Santa Fe Depot at 4:00 pm which was 45 min. behind schedule. Josh greeted us and helped with luggage while Alden drove around. Alden and Josh drove us up to our home and McKenna came later, then we went to Denny's for dinner and they went back home from Denny's and we went home as we were very tired by that time. Here are a few pictures of our travels.
Maureen and Bob look familiar. Have I met them? And it sounds like you had a great trip!
