Under a Blue Moon

Decor, cooking, organization, all the pretty things

Saturday drive

Picture_349

This picture is apropos of nothing really – except we had a lovely lovely lunch in San Luis Obisbo on Saturday at a restaurant called Novo.  We sat out on the deck under a giant oak tree and the shadows looked really interesting on the table.

San Luis Obisbo is a really cute town.   Since I grew up in a college town I kind of have an affinity for all of them.   Too bad it is so far away from the bay area.  We were doing a little reconnaissance – checking out the central coast area as a possible contender for a place to live. 

We know we want to move out of the Sacramento area – and would prefer to be somewhat close to the coast.   So we set out on Saturday and drove up highway 1 to SLO, had a little lunch and then drove onto Atascadero (no), Templeton (very nice but kind of hot like we are trying to get away from and also kind of far) and Paso Robles (again, nice areas but man the heat will surely kill me).

See – this is what I want (driveby shooting, hence the blurriness); only I want to be sitting on an acre lot in the Carmel Valley area.  That’s not too much to ask, is it?  This was in San Luis Obisbo.  I said it was a cute town.

Hey I just realized I have been blogging for a year now (and one day).  Happy Blogiversary to me!

    Happy Blogiversary. Wow what a house, I love it. I love the coolness that you get along the coast. The thought of being able to wear a sweater in the middle of the summer at night sounds great.

    Wow, a whole year? Happy blogiversary. Wow, that yellow house is charming, isn’t it? I’m afraid to ask the price of real estate down there, I know it’s as bad or worse than it is up here…. Best of luck on your search!
