Becki at A Book Lover’s Adventures has been running a series on her blog this year called Hometown Tourist.  She was kind enough to accept my submission to feature Arroyo Grande, CA.  We only lived there for three short years but it found a place in all our hearts and in many ways feels like our home town.

Please hop over to Becki’s blog to read all about it.  After you read about AG, check out a couple of the other featured home towns.  You might find a few stops to add to your next vacation.  I certainly have!

Here are a few pictures of Arroyo Grande to whet your appetite for more…
