Philip had a fencing tournament in San Luis Obispo on the Central Coast, so we decided to make it a one-night getaway. We discovered Avila Beach, a tiny beachfront community nestled beside the hills. I'd definitley recommend
Sycamore Springs Resort, with mineral spring hot tubs on every balcony. With a baby in tow, in-room amenities like that are key. We spent the day wandering by the beach and around the resort grounds.
