whale rock reservoir, cayucos

***Hello Monday is where I greet the new week with an open heart and a fresh perspective. It’s a new beginning–and there’s so much to be thankful for! Join me by leaving your own hellos in the comments section or linking up a hello monday post there!***

We had a fabulous weekend! My twin sister and her family stayed in Cambria {about 45 minutes north of us} so we had a couple meals together and a cousin slumber party. On Saturday, we drove out to whale rock reservoir on our way to Cayucos. It’s beautiful. This is a man-made lake that holds the fresh water for San Luis Obispo.

This is a crazy week! We leave for New York on Thursday. I’ll be speaking at the Raising Generations Conference and the whole family is coming along. We’re so excited. But we have a lot to get done in the next few days! How about some hellos?

  1. Thanks so much for the lovely pics of Cayucos. I moved away from SLO 12 years ago because we just couldnt afford to buy a home there. We now live in a small town which was like stepping back in time. My beloved sister still lives in Cayucos and I miss her dearly! So once again thanks!!

  2. You will LOVE Lion King…and what better place to see it than on Broadway. Enjoy it. The costumes and set are so great.

  3. What a fun adventure you’re about to take! I’d love to take my family to NYC one day.

    I’m back after a week off from Hello Monday. Sharing about parenting, lemon bars, the need for spring recipes now (and spring in general…wintry mix here tonight. aaahh!) and how I *really* feel about Pantone…plus a little sneak peek 🙂

  4. I love it!! Makes me nostalgic for my days as a kid in Cayucos. Living on Old Creek Road, as a child, we used to put on roller blades and skate up to Whale Rock (coming back down was always the greatest). We used to go shoot guns at Storni’s Ranch, a little ranch on the lake where a guy (Mr Storni, I assume) has a license to sell guns and ammo out of his shed.

    Thank you for taking me back, it has inspired me to get back there this coming weekend, and enjoy a spot I’d all-but-forgotten.
