We’re going through a learning experience. We’ve recently bought a motorhome—not a new one, mind you, but one that’s about 15 years old: 23-feet of instant coziness. That is, if you know how to make her sing. And that’s what we’re learning: how to make her sing.
Of course, we’re learning from the previous captain, who assures us he’ll take us through her paces. And he does. Around the outside: here’s the propane, here’s the outside electrical outlet, here’s the outside storage that holds the lego-like levelers.

So we got ourselves an ocean-front campsite at San Elijo State Beach. It’s all of five miles from our house. Yep, that means if we forget something we can return home to get it. It’s also (well, besides being a stairway away from the beach), walking distance to a great food market, walking distance to the best donuts in San Diego County (VG’s), and a short drive to any number of great restaurants (wait, we’re camping, remember?).

What are the other little things? Walking down to the beach and watching the sun set. Walking around at night and seeing a gazillion stars. Making a roaring fire and having your fleece smell like smoke for days. Making French press coffee and having it with one of those wonderful chocolate old fashions in the morning. (I said VG's had the best donuts in San Diego County—I wasn’t kidding!)

Tantalizing, Gail. It is all about the small things if you have the curiosity to take the time and inspect the seemingly insignificant. But, where is this fabled motorhome? The Eolus driveway seems perfectly matched for such a cruiser. And while I haven't had the opportunity to camp, I can attest to the amazing sunsets off the coast of Encinitas. The picture you have posted in breathtaking. And DJs? yes, DJs' donuts are simply scrumptious. Feel free to send Sara back with some if she can get them through the body scan. ;)
Thanks for the comment, Todd. We had the fabled motorhome for 2 years and indeed it lived in the Eolus driveway. It's a long story which I will share with you sometime!
