LEGOLAND California and SEA LIFE Aquarium Adventure

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, In : LEGOLAND California 
This past Monday, we took our sons on a grand adventure to LEGOLAND California and SEA LIFE Aquarium in Carlsbad, California (San Diego)!

The weather was perfect and the kids had a blast! My sons are 5 and 2 years old. Because my younger son is still just 2, he got in for free at both LEGOLAND California and SEA LIFE Aquarium. We were happy to be able to take advantage of this! The distance from San Luis Obispo to LEGOLAND California is about a 4 hour and 30 minute drive, depending on LA traf...

Beautiful beach hikes in San Luis Obispo area

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Tuesday, April 16, 2019,
If healthy and abled, take advantage of the many hikes and cliff views of the beaches of San Luis Obispo county. Here are SanLuisObispoMom.com's picks:

Cave Landing and Pirate's Cove
The parking lot can be really bumpy so if you don't have a 4x4, try to park close to the front of the entryway! You can't go wrong with any of the trails here. We took the main one where it takes you to the cave.


Watch out for this cave because it leads you to a cliff to the ocean of Avila Beach!

A short walk from...

Avila Beach Pier and Avila Beach Farmers Market

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, In : Beaches 
The old public Avila Beach Pier is solely made out of wood and when we walked on it with my 5 year old and 2 year old sons, they stumbled a few times. It's not as smooth as the Pismo Beach Pier but it's worth trying to walk on, if you are able. The views, not surprisingly, are phenomenal.


On one side, you see the pretty homes on the hills right above the water and on the other side, you see another pier but that one's private by Cal Poly. If you have excellent vision, you'll also see that ther...

Pet Emporium in Arroyo Grande

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, In : Arroyo Grande 
A new favorite thing for us to do is visit the boa constrictor at CD's Pet Emporium in Arroyo Grande. It's so rare to find a boa constrictor in a pet shop so this is an amazing and unique attribute that this pet shop currently has. They have a large reptile area in the back that is dimly lit. All of the animals looks healthy and happy! Now of course this is all free just to see. It only costs money to buy!


They also have 2 large parrots and other small birds towards the front of the shop! Rig...

Avila Valley Barn - Free Visit to See Farm Animals

Posted by SanLuisObispoMom.com on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, In : Farms 
The best part about Avila Valley Barn is that it's free to visit the farm animals here! There are dozens and dozens of goats! There are also chickens, ponies, cows, sheep and other animals! You can buy some food to feed the goats and this made it a very wonderful experience for the kids. 

We also took advantage of their pony ride for $6 for the kids. It's a short ride but my 2 year old thoroughly enjoyed every second of it! 

If you're hungry, you can also buy some bbq like a tri-tip sand...

Paso Robles Children's Museum was having a free day for everyone so we took advantage of this opportunity to also explore Paso Robles a bit. Address of Paso Robles Children's Museum: 623 13th St, Paso Robles, CA 93446;


Since the Paso Robles Children's Museum is located in downtown Paso Robles, we decided to meet a friend afterwards at the Justin's Winery Tasting Room that is also conveniently located right across from the city park.

At Justin's Downtown Tasting Room, you will immediately be w...
