SLO for Kegan's #21...
 |
| We picked Kegan up and headed to Morro Bay to check in to our hotel. We did what we always do when we see Kegan... we fed him. |
 |
| Sylvester's Big, Hot N' Juicy Burgers are famous in these parts. It lived up to the hype! |

Yellow is not a color that I frequently see in Tahoe so I had to get out and be with the wild mustard. The origin of the this beautiful flowering plant that blooms all over California in spring is a legend credited to Father Serra. Tradition has it the padres brought wild mustard seeds with them from Spain to the New World. Traveling from mission to mission, exploring California, the padres scattered the wild mustard seeds along the path to create a golden pathway home. When the explorers returned in spring the mustard plants flowered. The blooms were a bright mustard yellow color. They could follow the “ribbon of gold” home. |

| Kegan is quite the gardener and we had to stop to see his 'green thumb' in action! |
 |
| Speaking of Father Serra, located in the heart of SLO is one of his creations. The Mission church of San Luis Obispo is unusual in its design in that its combination of belfry and vestibule is found nowhere else among the California missions. Wow. I bet you didn't know that! It's very beautiful to stumble upon it while rambling along. |

| We hooked up with Monica for a birthday dinner at Big Sky Cafe. Each flavor was unique and delectable. "Every year our local farm resources deepen and improve...we have an ever-expanding palate of organic fruits and vegetables, farmstead cheeses, olive oils, and vintage vinegars to create our fresh market dishes daily." - Charles Myers, Chef/Owner |

| Can you see the delight in Kegan's face as we all sing to him? It was a great "part 1" to the weekend of celebrating! |
