About Arroyo Grande's Five Cities

Today I decided to get away from my desk and my short sale transactions and take my dog to the beach. This is part of my new year's resolution, which is to take more time for myself and my family. So I loaded up the car, went to Pismo Beach, north of the pier, and joined other people running, walking, surfing, some with dogs, some not. As I saw the many hotels and inns along the sand, I was reminded that many people come "HERE" for vacation. And as I walked along chatting with people, most all of them were from out of town. Located on the Central Coast, we have climate very similar to the Mediterranean. Monarch butterflies even vacation here on their travels between Canada and Mexico.

Pismo Beach is part of the Five Cities which are small towns that are all attached and south of San Luis Obispo. The cities are: Arroyo Grande, Pismo Beach, Grover Beach, Oceano, Shell Beach, The entire area is half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco. I actually vacationed here myself which sparked my move from the Los Angeles area. And I love it! I am so fortunate to live and work in such a beautiful place. It was around 75 degrees today! Even though I don't have on my "Realtor" garb & makeup, I wanted to share these photos with you.

Oh by the way, my cohort on the beach is my chiweenie "Sugar". It was her first trip ever to the beach and she ran and ran and ran. She hasn't moved since we got home. The walk, the colors, the fresh air were all so needed as you can tell by the last photo of my relaxed face as I left the beach.

It was so nice, I might just do a repeat tomorrow! Cya at the beach.

IT'S FUN TO DRESS UP !
