Rocky Beach

The campground we stayed at yesterday had one amazing feature, only one, the rest was desolate bare and again under a bridge.
We got up in the morning and I went to order eggs, bacon sausages coffee and tea, all in a to go box to be eaten in the RV.

A couple of hours on The Pacific Coast Highway 1, now there is a road that deserves clarification. Driving that road with a large camper isn't the most relaxing thing. Think one narrow lane and hilly curves, but the scenery is well worth it.
We stopped at Salt Point State Park, the Ranger lady at the entrance told us of two possibilities, the close campground or a parking lot near the sea with one hundred eighty degrees view of the sea, not much hesitation there.
We got our RV diagonally in a corner allowing a little corner of privacy, set up table and chairs and got to lunch.
A short walk to the sea to reveal no sandy beach but enough flattened rocks to lay down in the sun andd Val and I fell asleep at the sound of the waves and 'Lettuce' midly emerging from the ipods' speakers.
The kids where climbing rocks, gathering wood, running, falling, bleeding, scratching themselves, we both fell in a short hour of blissful siesta.
Awakened by a loud "vous dormeeééz?" we emerged.
I spotted a seal on a rock and as we approached we saw many of them sleeping, swimming fishing, one large one came really close as if to check us out and carried on.
Back at the campground no more cars or RV's we are alone.
This fantastic day ended with some great steaks on the BBQ and
an amazing sun moving  quickly as if in a hurry lowering itself in the sea to go from one then two then half until it disappeared totally into the ocean, leaving behind beautiful colors for us to savor.
A family card game before bed and an early night in for a perfect ending of a perfect day.

Despite the fact this seems to be a repetition but the long curvy roads along 1 is amazing, not the easiest to negotiate with a ten meter camping but beautiful still.

We ended up today at KOA Petaluma full luxury camping huge swimming pool, sun deck, jumping pillows petting farm and decided to stay here for a few days, I am renting a car to go into San Fransisco now.
