Are these egrets? Or what? We are not birders. But they were cool!
More of the "egrets."
We got to watch a real "Baywatch" type rescue. Everyone was okay. That lifeguard was HOT. He needed to go for a swim to cool off...

I have wanted to go to this quilt shop in Morro Bay ever since I read "Mariner's Compass" by Earlene Fowler and wondered if it was a real place. When I met Earlene at our local quilt shop she told me she based "The Fabric Patch" in the book on "The Cotton Ball" in Morro Bay. I looked up their address both this time and the last time we went and left it home by mistake both times!
When we were driving down the road to the beach this trip I just happened to see it! I made Dad and Amy stop on the way out of town. It is a really fun shop - home of the "surf quilter!" (See Rob Appel and "Adventures of a Surf Quilter at http://www.thecottonball.com/)
Then it was a race back across the state to our niece Kelly's wedding!

Wow! Your pictures of Morro Bay and the sequoias are so pretty! Makes me want to drag Jared along for a trip with me :)
What kind of books does Earlene Fowler write? I'm always looking for good books to read :)
Earlene Fowler writes "quilt mysteries." They feature Benni Harper as the curator of a folk art museum in central California. The titles are all the names of quilt patterns. I LOVE her characters and stories. Down to earth and homey... like she is! I have just discovered that the genre is called "cozy mysteries!"
What a gorgeous place! i miss the beach...and you all! Thanks for the fun pics of your travels and the wedding!
