Road Trip

I thought I would take a little break from packing! I just returned from a really short road trip to San Luis Obispo to visit my sister and brother-in-law. It was a lot of fun! We ventured down to the Farmer's Market on Higuera Street on Thursday night which was entertaining. Before we walked home, I was introduced to the best coffee place ever...even better than Coffee Bean...Peet's. This became a regular stop each day while I was there. Unfortunately, there is not one closer to me in LA, but I have already mapped out a few in San Diego. 

On Friday, I visited my sister's 2nd grade classroom. Let me just say...teaching is not for me; I am not sure if I would have the patience for that. But the kids were very cute and had several questions for me including one kid asking me how I have money to go to Disneyland. They were expecting my arrival all day since Danielle had told them I was coming. So when I went with Danielle to pick up the kids from lunch, they were very excited. You would have thought I was the President of the United States or something. All the way back to the classroom I had 17 pairs of eyes just staring at me taking it all in. I think one of the first comments from the students was that Danielle and I didn't look alike and that we had different colored skin and hair. I was very exhausted after just two hours in her classroom.

On Saturday, Danielle and I went up to Cambria and did a little shopping. There was a great knitting store there so I bought myself a knitting book on felting; I am planning on starting some new knitting projects. The first one I plan to start is a knit felted tote bag; it's time I move on from scarves and blankets to something a little more interesting. We had afternoon Royal tea at The Tea Cozy which is always a lot of fun. 

Then we headed back to downtown SLO for a little shopping downtown before I headed back to LA. We were walking by the Mission and found a quaint little knitting shop tucked away in the row of stores. I found the yarn I liked to start my knit bag. Danielle signed up for beginning knitting classes. The store was very cute and included a little sitting room and a patio off the back so knitters could come and knit.
