After we left San Francisco, we just stayed on the 101 and Hwy 1 and drove along the coast. It's just impossible to tire of that view. First we came to Big Sur, and we quickly realized why it's so famous. It was different than so much of California. It was very laid back and slow. We stayed at this beautiful campsite right on the river and there was no internet of cell service at all. It was.....freeing in a strange way. For a few days, anyway, but then we were going crazy with out it so we left. Pathetic.
But we were a 5 minute walk from a little strip of shops and restaurants. It was just like a little surfing village. It reminded us a bit of Tofino, but smaller. So we camped and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and felt like we were camping back home. It was awesome.
So goofy. I'd be so bored without them.
It's impossible to roast marshmallows without somebody getting some in their hair.
Our next stop was Pismo Beach. It reminds me of this..."I'm chairperson for the Pismo Beach Disaster League! Some people lost all their belongings...don't you think that includes athletic equipment?" If you know me well you will know exactly what I'm talking about.
We actually never made it to the beach because we had some less than desirable weather and we didn't really like the RV park...so we just wanted to get a move on. But we did manage to find the most adorable farm and bakery I've ever seen. Erika, you would been absolutely in love with he kitchen shop...it was all rustic and French and rooster-y. I was wishing you were there the whole time!
We took a tractor ride around the farm. It was just adorable.
So after that we headed right down to San Diego. We knew we wanted to be grounded for at least a few weeks so that Matt could get some proper work done and we would be able do our home schooling without too many interruptions. We rented a car so that we'd have flexibility and be able to sight-see without having to pack up the RV every time. It's been great. It's almost started to feel like regular life (sort of) so we're actually getting ready to get outta here! Who needs regular life? But we're waiting for one more week because we are meeting my bro, sister in law, nephews and niece for a week in Disneyland! I don't know who is more excited around here, grown ups or kids. But we've done some pretty fantastic things here in San Diego so far.
To our great frustration, the internet here is horrible, and since it's Easter weekend, the park is FULL of campers, making the internet even 10 times slower. It won't let me upload any more photos, so I'm going to have to wait until the middle of the night or something to finish this. If I was really annoying I'd do something like this...#firstworldproblems. But hashtagging is stupid and I'd never do anything like that. #sorrynotsorry
