Morro Bay is where Jim grew up and currently lives/lived (depending on when you're reading this!). Down the street from Jim's place is Morro Strand State Beach where he jogs just about daily. Laurie loves visiting and grabbing as many sand dollars as she can! It's a great spot to watch the sunsets too!
It can get REALLY hot on the trails since many are not covered. Go early, take plenty of water, and enjoy the beaches afterward.
This is one of the wineries we went to during Laurie's first visit to Morro Bay/ SLO!
