May 11....I slept great last night. I was refreshed. I showered and was very excited to meet up with my brother Les and his wife Lenise and wonderful son Lakoda. They met us here at Motel 6 at noon and we headed to a restaurant named Margies with portion sizes bigger than in Alaska for a better price. My brother Les is very handsome with white hair past his his shoulders and a braided beard. He looks great. Lenise is beautiful both inside and out and my nephew Lakoda is their blessing. I knew today would be the best.....We headed on a guided tour via speaker on our cell phones starring Les. We drove on highway 1 through Avila Beach town....definately going back there.....and Pismo Beach.....nice too. Both of these places are small towns nestled along the ocean so quaint and unique full of visitors celebrating the 80 Degrees, a Sunday, or Mothers Day. It was exciting. The ocean was spectacular, the waves had white caps and rolled in one after the other and it smelled like the ocean.....fresh. The smell was not just the ocean itself but the many restaurants. What a great mix. Mom and I headed to watch the sun set in Morrow Bay. We first visited the beach where the famous Rock is and I combed the beach and walked in the water. The ocean feels like home to me. I found a unbroken sand dollar and some other shells. I thanked God for this gift I was so blessed to enjoy. The Morro Rock is huge with birds flying all around it....mostly seagulls. We watched some surfers and aa couple of boats maneuvering the bay. We found a great spot to sit and watch the sun set next to the rock. It was gorgeous. We headed back to our hotel and now are relaxing and planning our day here tomorrow. I love it here. It feels good and is beautiful. Happy Mothers Day. PS. My mom is feeling much better.
