Spring Break Road Trip 2016 Day 7 - Gilroy & Paso Robles + vintage signs in LA

In the wee hours of the morning, before the sun was even out...

we left our favorite motel in SF (THE first one!) and headed south...

A quick breakfast would be here...

Wine Tasting at the Adelaide Inn

This would be our last full day of vacation...

TC wanted to stay in the room while we did this event...

Summer Road Trip 2015 - Day 9: Spearhead Coffee

Centennial Park in the morning...

Cleaned up completely from the previous night's concert and festivities. As we walked from our car to the coffee shop, we recognized one of the waitresses from Yanagi Sushi sitting on a nearby park bench.

We were up early for our morning coffee at Spearhead, a relatively new coffee shop in town...

Yanagi Sushi

Bert had a craving for Japanese food...

saw that Yanagi Sushi was located near the town square...

Return to Paso Robles - Adelaide Inn + concert at Centennial Park

We finally arrived at our hotel, the Adelaide Inn, which is right off the 46/

It was super super hot, as in 95+ F hot.  After checking in, and being offered fresh fruit and cookies in the lobby (nice!)...

we dumped all of our stuff in the room to relax a bit before heading out to downtown...

Return to Paso Robles + Blackwells Corner and Taco Bell

The small town of Gonzales is off the 101 in the Central Coast...

every time we pass by, I snap a shot of this tower and text it to La Ley. She used to live in Salinas and worked in Gonzales and didn't like it up there.

Our next stretch break was in Paso Robles which we had the pleasure of visiting earlier that summer...

If the temperature wasn't 90+ degrees, we would have enjoyed ourselves more...

SF Roadtrip Day 4 Highlights

It was a super long drive back...but first, before we left, we had breakfast by this iconic "head"...

located on Sloat Blvd, right across from the Zoo...

Bert would get the first "shift" for our epic drive back on Labor Day Monday...

Ignacy Paderewski & Powell's Sweet Shoppe

Centennial Park, located in the heart of downtown Paso Robles features the historic Carnegie Library which is now the home of the Paso Robles Historical Society...

It was closed the day of our visit, but it would have been nice to have stepped in and learned more about the town.

In front of the library is a statue which we were also curious about...

The Brown Butter Cookie Company in Paso Robles

Downtown Paso Robles was lovely and charming with several blocks of historic buildings...

One of the most noticeable buildings was this one...

The Acorn Building was once known as the Blackburn building, named after James and Daniel Blackburn, the town's founders...

Amsterdam Coffee House

This bridge part of the 46 seemed " new"...

Paso Robles would be our next stop...

We liked the license plate, which matched the truck's cargo!

Having all of these little stops was getting to be quite fun. It was nice not being on a tight time frame and taking the time to do a little bit of sightseeing...
