Hot Dog Wishes and Redwood Dreams

It was a week moment for me. No one was around to tell me to stop and think about it. So I made the decision on my own ( no small feat). No, I didn't order myself a Plasma TV Set or any other electronic equipment for that matter. I placed reservations for a two-night camping trip at Patrick's Point State Park. This might not seem like that big of a deal to most people but it is simply thrilling to me. Here are a few reasons I am so excited for this brief getaway:

  1. It is nearly 110 degrees here in the North Valley, It will be 60-70 at the coast.
  2. It has been two years since I went to the coast and this is my favorite place to camp.
  3. There is something romantic if not rustic about sleep in a tent surrounded by towering redwood giants (and racoons, and other four legged critters).

There is also local cuisine to savor and lots of rest (right, who am I kidding?). So I am beginning my countdown now. 32 days and counting!!!
