Central Coast Fall

I got up to San Luis Obispo twice for back-to-back weekends. The first occasion was to celebrate October Birthdays, this included some time at the horses and a new-to-me hike in SLO. Mia got back on the saddle of her horse, George, to show his manner and perhaps have a new owner take over his care - a perfect match due to the limited time he gets ridden currently. 

The second weekend was for a trip we’ve talked about for years. My mom made the drive down to Paso Robles and we all met up to go wine tasting. The biggest highlight was a private tour through Steinbeck Vineyards on a 1958 Jeep by the 80-year old owner of the land. It felt special to get a history lesson from Howie as he cruised through the land and stopped for us to try different grapes. We also visited Scuplterrea which as the name may give away, has a some sculptures (Lots of photos below).
