Wednesday & Thursday, September 8/9 - On our drive to Morro Bay we stopped in Paso, to get groceries and it was 103 degrees. It was only a 40 minute drive to Morro Bay, and as we headed that way, we watched the car thermometer move down one degree about every mile closer we got. Once we got to the campground it was 64 degrees. Crazy that there can be such a temperature difference in such a short distance away. The campground is basically a parking lot, right next to the beach, and it's just 10 minutes from downtown Morro Bay, which is a really cute sleepy little town. Wednesday night when we got in, Morro rock (which is an iconic rock in the middle of the bay) wasn't visible due to all the fog. We walked in the fog on the beach and found bunches of sand dollars. Yay, we were able to sleep without the air conditioning! Thursday morning we woke up to more fog and we were wondering if we would get to see Morro Rock while we were here. We did some laundry and on our way back the fog broke and there it was! We decided to have lunch on the beach, and Kev went for a swim (the ocean was 64 degrees, brrr...not for me). In the afternoon we went to Morro Bay State Park golf course, and Kev played 9 holes, while I caddied for him. It's a pretty gorgeous golf course. When we got back to the campground Morro Rock was visible! There is a bike path into town so we went for a bike ride after dinner, then grabbed our chairs and headed to the beach for a beautiful sunset, complete with dolphins frolicking and surfers surfing.
