Good Morning Pacific Ocean. It was pretty neat to wake up and see Isabella immediately go out to the beach to write in her journal while Vera opted to journal neat the campfire.
Vera and Edwin went fishing. Unfortunately no luck especially since we saw a few fishing boats in the bay…But pretty sure 1/2 the fun of fishing is casting. Plus it was pretty darn neat to see Vera casting this giant pole into the Pacific Ocean.
While Isabella and I were keeping Edwin and Vera company we spotted a pod of grey whales only about 100 yards off shore. Mesmerizing
Somehow during this morning activities Daisy got into something…bit by a bee? stung by a jellyfish? We don’t know except that her muzzle was all swollen and hard and she started breaking out in hives. Poor baby, you could tell she was not a happy dog and not her usual self.
We had a mellow afternoon of re-arranging the RV as the kitchen was not as well packed away as we thought pre-travel.
…but of course no day at Navarro Beach is complete without driftwood climbing, ocean swimming, campfires, and s’mores
We made it a little further up the coast and found an amazing beach and place to camp. 12 walk in campsites. We had the place to ourselves Thursday night.
The journey begins…where it will lead we do not know yet…but an adventure it will be. Thanks for taking the time to take this journey with us.
There was so much excitement with the decision making process of this trip but that quickly dissipated with the knowledge that we would be leaving behind family and friends whom we dearly love. Oh and the realization of how much work a trip like this is to put together. But we are on the road now, and although i still have a lump in my stomach i feel the sense of adventure and the unknown making its way into my bones.
Love to everyone but most of all to my mom, my sister, and my dear grandmother. I love you all more than words can express and so grateful to be among such strong and amazing women and raising 2 more 🙂
but really most of all… love to my Edwin. Happy Anniversary. 15 years. 08.28.04. Look at us, we talked about this more than 20 years ago and we are really doing it. Pretty Amazing. Thank you. Wouldn’t dream of doing this with anybody but you.
Thanks Dedi for giving us the white handkerchief sendoff
The girls were busy sewing around 20 shoe holders for all of our shoes. We used different materials for each shoe for easy and quick access and clean storage in the RV. We are able to store they behind the couch.
