Today we started our road trip from San Diego, California to Tacoma, Washington to take Benjamin to the University of Puget Sound. We got a late start on account of the length of time required to stuff a four door sedan with most of Benjamin's clothes, shoes, outdoor gear, notebooks, computer and one oversized stuffed bear. Okay, we didn't have to bring the stuffed bear, but I insisted. Every college kid needs a stuffed bear in their dorm room. Right? Right.
After fighting the traffic in San Diego County, then Orange County, then Los Angeles County, we managed to veer off onto the California coastal highways, and enjoyed the ocean breezes and views. We stopped in Buellton, CA, population approximately 4,500, for dinner. Buellton is apparently known for its split pea soup, but we just weren't up for the green stuff. Instead, we used Yelp to lead us to Industrial Eats, a delightful eatery in the "industrial" section of Buellton. The restaurant had wood fired ovens and was so chic and the food so delicious it could have been removed intact to the tonier sections of San Francisco. It was Tuesday night, and bursting at the seams. We finished our dinner with "crack" pie, which was some out-of-this world toffee custard confection. Frankly, I'm still not sure exactly what it was. Benjamin deemed it "not bad," which is high praise from him.
Tonight we are in the coastal town of Cayucos. I'd describe it, but we arrived in darkness. You'll just have to wait for the next blog posting. Tomorrow more California coastal adventures await.
