When I need to get out of town & clear my head, a favorite get-away is a road trip to the Madonna Inn, in San Luis Obispo, CA. Built by Alex Madonna in 1958, it continues to be run by his family, & has retained all the character from days gone by. Here's a sampling of photos from some adventures there...
Thanks so much for stopping by!
