2 2026-05-09: Avila Ranch, SLO, and then Pismo
2.1 Avila Ranch
We went to Avila Ranch so that our baby can meet some animals. Baby is too young to feed the animals though, and I didn’t get any good pics of the animals. There were goats, sheep, chickens, and other amazing creatures big and small! There was also a really cute grocery store.
