040409--Easter Break (9-17 Apr 2004)

What a great trip this was. We drove into Montana de Oro on Friday at noon and were lucky enough to find an empty camping spot, which would serve as our home base for the next week. Some of the things we did: Easter egg hunt in Los Osos; toured Morro Bay; headed to the Roth's for Easter Sunday (hiking and a little horseback riding in the Los Padres National Forest near Wagon Cave); checked out the tide pools and sand beaches; rode our bicycles; explored caves; toasted marshallows over the fire and more. (9-17 Apr 2004)
