Pismo Beach, CA

Hello everyone, happy April!  I am finally back from my vacation on the California Coast.  My husband and I went to Pismo Beach, about three hours south of where we live.  Our trip was purely for rest, relaxation and reflection, absolutely just what the doctor ordered.  I will say it felt good not to use my laptop, my i-phone or any other electronic device or do work of any kind.  We pretty much ate, slept, walked on the beach and sat on the patio of our room on the cliffs and watched the ocean for hours at a time.

I thought it would be fun to share some of the pictures from our hotel, The Cottage Inn, before getting back to all the creative projects I have planned.  Enjoy the ocean breezes.

This is a photo of our room just behind the tree on the bottom floor.

These are the trees right in front of our room, all trimmed up so we can see the beautiful flowers, plants and ocean, and still get a little shade when it is warm out.

This stunning view was taken from our breakfast table, which sat in front of our room window; we ate many of our meals there, mostly breakfast, so we would not miss a minute of the lovely blue skies and frothy waves.

A pretty picture of the English garden landscaping we could see from our outside patio.

The beautiful cliff view of Pismo Beach, the pier and the dunes and a close-up of the cove directly below the Hotel.

Sparking water just before sunset, taken on our last evening, time to head for home.  We really miss the sound of the crashing waves and the spectacular ocean we saw every day, we can’t wait to go back again very soon.

Thanks for letting me share our little vacation getaway, I hope you felt a little of the peace and beauty we had on our very restful trip.  I plan to be back in full creative mode next week, look for me then.  Have a wonderful Easter.

See you soon, Laurette
