For serenity, pack lunch and head north or south to have a picnic at one of the dozens of picturesque wineries. Head west for great beaches, perfect for a leisurely swim. For a dose of history, visit the birthplace and heart of this quaint town: the beautiful adobe-brick Mission San Luis Obispo. Children will revel in the plentiful fun activities, such as the Charles Paddock Zoo, the Morro Bay Aquarium and the Children's Museum. For a laugh or a gasp, visit the outrageously decorated Madonna Inn, where nothing in the garish décor is consistent except for an abundance of the colour pink. All are welcome for a peek inside the lobby's men's room for more interior design surprises. « less
