Just a little R & R

Our favorite campimg spot is the now infamous (thanks to New Jersey Housewives) Pillar Point "parking lot" in Half Moon Bay, California.  It's only 45 minutes from our home and is dog friendly.  This makes it incredibly easy to get away for some much needed R & R.  Both my husband and I have demanding jobs and even a quick three day get away to the coast is refreshing. 

I love sitting outside of the motorhome on my comfy lounge chair looking out at the ocean. Margarita in hand, of course.  At night, I find nothing more relaxing than the sound of waves crashing over the rocks lulling me into a peaceful sleep. Until...the dogs have to pee!  Let me tell you, it's freaking cold in the middleof the night  in Half Moon Bay!  The things we put up with for our dogs.

Pillar Point is a small campground and we always run into people that we know.  I joke that all you need to survive there is an empty glass.  You're bound to find a party. I remember when my inlaws visited for the day. We had a dinner together and they left.  An hour later, my husband and I decided to take the dogs for a walk.  Who do you think we bumped into to?  My inlaws! They never made it out of the campground.  They ran into old friends and were busy parting it up!

A paved trail along the beach  leads right to the harbor for those days when cooking feels too much like work.  It's a short walk and there are several restaurants and shops to choose from.  My favorite restaurant is Catch Joanne's.  Always welcoming and they have a great menu.

When we are feeling adventurous, we bike the trails along the coast. But mostly, we enjoy the ocean view and each other's company.  Not a bad deal. 

Next trip, the dogs stay home!



I guess the Margarita kicked in!

My husbands view of marriage:

First there's the engagement ring.

Then, the wedding ring.

Afterwards its all about suffering!
