We said our good- byes to family and friends. And as we were driving away, Levi started planning a future camping trip with the boys. Levi took the wheel for our 3 hour trip to Morro Bay. The drive was mainly ranch land, rolling hills, and winding roads. I wasn' t sure if we were going to make it at one point when the gas light turned on and we were still a ways from any town. With 2 gallons left, we were able to pull into a station just 30 minutes out of Morro Bay....whew!
We did make it here! Our first stop in Morro Bay was the Morro Dunes RV Park. It is crazy packed here for the summer! There is little room for privacy. Our back- in site consists of a few trees around the perimeter, a picnic table, and fire pit barrel. Levi and I didn' t have any trouble setting things up. I even put up my suction cupped bird feeder in hopes of getting a bird or two. We have never had a bird eat from the feeder in past trips.
Brewy stayed on a 6 foot leash attached to the trailer. We sat down with her and her bowl of food after we were finished setting up. She hasn' t eaten too much since we started the trip. This is typical for her on many of our vacations. She' ll usually gain her appetite back by the 2nd or 3rd day. She' ll usually snack on treats or human scraps before then. She did eat about half of her bowl before we headed out to eat. Another unfortunate thing about this park is the location of its one tiny dog run which is located at the far south end-- opposite end of our site. The park managers are very adimate about dogs ONLY going potty in this area. I don' t think Brewy can hold it for that little hike considering she goes potty every few hours...oh brother.
We drove to the main drag along the shore line and ate at a little restaurant called Rocca's. Their outside seating area consisted of two tables in front of the restaurant...shade from the sun but no view of the sunset:( The food was delicious!! Levi had a Blue Moon with his fish 'n chips and clam chowder meal. Brewy "sampled" some of Levi' s meal, too. I had a Chardonnay with my fish tacos and chips. We had a cinnamon roll and chocolate treat from a neighboring bakery afterwards.
We were planning on taking a walk on the beach but decided to call it a day once we got back to the park. I only got through 2 pages of my book before I dosed off. Levi said he would take a shower and watch some of his prerecorded shows (Fringe) before going to bed.
I woke up about an hour ago to the smell of firewood burning and what sounded like small fireworks...but I still can't be sure on the latter. Levi is sound asleep as I write. Glad we made it here and so excited about our adventures to come! Wish we could start our full-time RVing life now...I've had enough practice!
