I quite like Pismo Beach and the surrounding area. We have been here before multiple times and the plan was to go on an ATV ride in the dunes in the morning. Unfortunately the weather forecast was correct and it was pouring the whole day long. We had some time to kill because I had booked an escape room for 4pm that we could not move. We started by going to Barnes and Noble in San Luis Obispo. A bookshop is always a good idea in my opinion. We were hoping the rain would let up a little so we could have a look at the bubblegum Alley – not so much. A wall of bubblegum is quite yucky in the rain (it is yucky all the time but even more in the rain).
We made our way to Pismo Beach and spent the rest of the time with games and lunch at an arcade place. The escape room was a full success. It was the Alice Room at the Locked Inn. It was one of the best and hardest rooms I have done so far and it was really fun.
Driving on to Tehachapi to spend the night there and be closer to Las Vegas.
Home here and there 
Ha, yes a rainy day might not be the best time to see bubblegum alley! Sounds like you had a fun day in spite of the weather. I’ve never done an escape room! My son has though and he says it’s fun.

Rainy day or not, it sounds like you made the best of it. And it’s ages since I did a locked room and the Alice Room sounds fun.

We tried to make the best of it and I think everyone had a good day in the end.

Bubble Gum Alley sounds awful no matter if bright sunshine or rain.
I am sorry your day got highjacked by rain and you couldn’t do what you planned.

It turned out ok in the end. There is no preplanning the weather yet and there was some serious wishful thinking involved.

Human are so strange to make a thing out of bubble gum in a wall, right? 😬

Very strange but if the weather would have been nice the kids would have liked it.

The coast is so beautiful. We went to Pismo Beach for dinner last year while on a wine tasting trip to SLO. My first time to that area, it’s lovely!

I love Pismo Beach! Papi’s Grill has delicious Mexican food and is right off the 101. You’re eating in the parking lot, but with picnic tables.
