Avila beach Vacation

Friday
Well we ended up in Avila Beach, but it was a long delayed start. We waited for the gardener to show up because he had missed the back yard on his last unexpected visit and we really needed to have the back yard mowed. He was to do the back yard first so we could put the dogs in the house and be able to split. We slow played it because we could not check in until 4:00 PM anyway. We let the dogs out in the back because the gardener said he was done in the back (he always is aware that we need to have the gate closed because Kodi will take off given half a chance. Well unfortunately, the gate was open and of course Kodi was gone. Darci was roaming around the front looking for Kodi, but there was no Kodi. After an hour and a half of driving around the neighborhood, we regained possession of Kodi from the “friendly Animal Control Officer”. Someone had called about Kodi running down Concannon! Max ran into her and let her know we were also out searching for him. When we finally left, we had a nice drive down to Avila Beach and I ended up with 245 miles on a half a tank of gas! Considering the Xterra has always taken almost a full tank of gas to make it to Atascadero, I was very happy with the mileage. The Vue drove very nicely and I am pleased with it and its comfort. After we settled into our BEAUTIFUL accommodations, we attended the local street fair for some sights and a tri-tip sandwich for dinner.
