Fall weekend in the Central Coast

We had a wonderful fall weekend on our visit to the Central Coast.  It makes me so happy to spend a little bit of time in the country.  There is always a lot to see and many places to stop.  We like to visit as many places as possible, this time we squeezed in at least 3 days worth of activity into one and a half.  These sweet big guys were just outside the entrance to Remnants of the Past.  I love horses, such beautiful animals!  

We managed to get to the Avila Barn to pick up some pumpkin bread and other goodies, the See Canyon apple farm for pumpkins and the yummiest apples, as well as the show and food in San Luis Obispo. 
Tomorrow I will show you all the fun we had at the show....

Just some vintage nature collection porn for a Tuesday evening. See the rest of this Victorian seaside cottage and its collections here.
