Girl's California weekend!
Shelly, Marsha & I flew to San Luis Obispo for some pre-birthday celebrating (me), wedding celebrating (Marsha) & best friends celebrating (us).
Marsha lives in Bend, Oregon & Shelly lives locally in Scottsdale.
We all met in 1993 while playing sand volleyball at The Pointe. The 3 of us would waterski together, play volleyball, hike, bike & adventure weekly.

 Bishop Peak was a great Friday morning hike. 
Thursday night we briefly explored the gum wall (ewwww) but thoroughly enjoyed SLO's famous farmer's market. We had rented a charming little house in downtown San Luis Obispo March 30-April 2nd. Walking distance to shops, cafe's & coffee was perfect.
This was our 2nd hike on Friday. Beyond the yellow flowers can you see the steep trail?
Here's a photo from the top of the trail looking back at the ocean & Marsha hiking up.
The 4 mile trek was perfect. Amazing views of the ocean!
And gorgeous flowers!
Blue skies with perfect temps too.
More beautiful flowers!
They covered a whole hillside.
A stop at Avila Beach for some sun & lunch.
And a stop at Kelsey Farms for wine tasting. 
Other Friday sightseeing included the very pink Madonna Inn (above), Apple Farm for pie & Scout Coffee for lattes. Supper was at Luna Red in downtown SLO. A fun day!
