On the Friday of my trip to the central coast I drove north to an office in Templeton. The drive itself was so beautiful and a nice change of pace, as I had been going south daily. Going north meant going up in elevation and it was a stunning drive where I even saw long-horn cattle.

After work, Eric and I went to a couple of wineries on our way to dinner in Pismo Beach. Our first stop was at Chamisal.
 |
| It's a great blend of Indiana farm country and California sunshine |
And then we went to Ventana Grill on the coast in Pismo Beach...just in time to catch sunset.

| This seagull got a great spot to watch the sunset |

| And there it goes | | | |
