Big Sur

Big Sur is on the Central California coast and is breathtaking!

I'd seen photos of Big Sur and always thought it would be awesome to see. Driving down the coast on HWY 1 would have allowed us a nice full day of beautiful views but we decided to stop at a National Forest Campground to take in the beauty of this place for two days. This is the kind of campground I'd daydream about staying in when we were thinking about becoming full time RVers.

We stayed at the Kirk Creek Campground which is lofted high above the Pacific just off HWY 1. Every campsite has a view of the ocean. The price tag is $25 a night with no hookups and no water available. I'd say a spot with this view is worth $25 a night for sure.

An added bonus to spending two days overlooking the ocean is that we saw Grey Whales migrating! We would notice the water blow from the surface of the ocean then watch that spot for a few seconds and the whale would blow about 2 more times before diving.

While in the campground we pretty much sat outside all day taking in the ocean views and cooked a big dinner on the grill every night.

One night we had flank steak rolled up with spinach and cheese inside with asparagus on the side!
At night the stars were bright and beautiful! It was cold outside so we didn't stay outside much at night but it was sure pretty.

This is an amazing area of the California coastline and a peaceful campground great for enjoying the beauty of the ocean.

This weekend we went to the newest National Park in the system, Pinnacle National Park! It was upgraded from a National Monument to a National Park in 2013. This park was uniquely beautiful as we've come to expect of all the National Parks.

The scenery was great and as an unexpected bonus there was lots of wildlife! I think this may have had something to do with the rain that day. We say lots of deer, quail, wild hogs and a fox!

See the fox?

Enjoy our photos from our day in the park-

Tahoe Tuesday

Hi and Happy Tuesday!

I've been traveling again with Matt and Michelle! We've gone from Petaluma to Morgan Hill and now we're in Big Sur!

Everyday there's something new to look at out the window!

Every night I still like to sleep in Michelle's lap.

Here's Michelle clipping my nails! I don't know why she thinks this is necessary but I let her do it anyway.

Have a great week! See you next time!

Moving South, Facebook and Apple Visit

Since mid October, Matt and I have been living in Petaluma, CA while Matt worked for Tumbleweed Tiny Home Company in Sonoma, CA.

Now we're back on the road traveling again! Saturday we moved on from our campsite in Petaluma and headed south to Morgan Hill, CA. On our way south we stopped at the Apple headquarters and Facebook Headquarters!
