Camping in Bodega Bay




A few weeks back we were able to get away and camp. Friends of ours were celebrating their 1st wedding anniversary. We wanted to be able to take them away for the weekend. Obviously not a fancy resort, but camping to me is the next best thing. Your away from all your responsibility and there's nothing for you to do but relax. No dishes in the sink calling your name or laundry to do, no work. Just wake up, make breakfast and the sit around until you need to figure out what you want for lunch. We were able to camp by the beach so at night we would take our camping chairs and sit out by the ocean. The sounds of the waves crashing on the beach and a sky so clear that I could swear I was able to see every star in it........There is nothing else like it. During the day we took a LONG walk to the other side of the beach to a small cave. We picked some muscles both large (for pearls) and small (to eat). No we didn't find any pearls but the smaller ones made for great eating! We found a couple nice size crabs so we took those home too however we didn't have time to cook them so the lucked out that day. One of the days some of our family came out to visit for a few hours. We made sand castles with my niece Maddy. We had a great time, I even think we were more into the building of our sandcastles that Maddy was. I wish we could be back there again. The four of us (Dj and Jessica, Jeff and myself) had a great time!! Hope to be able to visit again soon!
