I've returned from a week's vacation in Morro Bay with my sisters Pat and Carole. We rented a great home on the hill facing the ocean and Morro Bay rock! We, well mostly me, could see the early morning sunsets (my sisters didn't get up as early as I did), as well as the sunsets. It was beautiful...one day after another glorious day of sunshine! Day after day after day......jealous?? ; ) It was a great location to be because all you had to do was to drive 10 miles north or south or east and you were in another town with all new sights. There were miles of vineyards and wineries, wine tasting, and the vine colors were going crazy! Reds, burgundies, dark greens, light greens, and oranges - it pretty much drove me crazy it was so beautiful.
We actually got a private tour of the Eagle Castle Winery as one of the owners was a childhood friend. We saw the winery in Paso Robles and then we remembered he lived in Morro Bay. So my sister called him up and he offered us the tour!! How lucky can we get? If you're ever in Paso Robles you will definitely have to stop by the wineries - that's what it's all about. The town is very quaint too with loads of places to eat. The shops were a little pricey, but still worth the stop.
My sister Pat got us tickets for the Hearst Castle night tour. We've been to several of the other day tours, however, the night tour gives you a different view, as all the lights are on, the outdoor pool is lighted, and the staff dress up in period costumes. It was a great trip.
The last night we were in Morro Bay was the best sunset as there were finally some clouds in the sky that night, and a lot of folks were out to see the sunset.
