Aylmer Express "MoHo" Extravaganza 2006

NOTE: OK, so Blogger seems to be working better now but the issue has switched to me having a crappy intenet connection. So, it looks like I won't be able to upload any photos for a few days. Check back in after the weekend and hopefully I will have been able to get some pictures uploaded by then.

Well, we have been on the road for almost 3 months now. The funny thing is that even though we have been having a fantastic time day in and day out, we are all starting to reach the point where we feel like we need a vacation. I know, that sounds a little weird but, after being exposed to incredibly amazing and breathtakingly gorgeous views over and over again, as well as exploring cool natural, and man-made, phenomenon for week after week after week, you tend to almost become immune to it all. Now don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining in the slightest, it is simply a case where something needs to be adjusted because the current situation is certainly not ideal. So we thought that perhaps if we took a break, it might help. Our solution? Well, it just so happens that we are on the California coast, right? Then why not just hang out by the beach for a few days to sit back, relax, and take it easy. A vacation, if you will. That just left one thing to decide …should we go to Santa Barbara or Pismo Beach? Decisions, decisions. I tell ya, it is a rough life. What finally made our decision for us was that we could not find any half decent RV campgrounds in the Santa Barbara. So Pismo Beach, here we come! I had no idea what this place would be like. There were 2 or 3 very large RV campgrounds there with lots of amenities like heated swimming pools, horse shoes, ping pong, etc so I figured that it must be a reasonable place for a vacation. Well it turned out to be better than I had expected. Our campsite is about a 50-yard (50-metre) walk to the beach! And just about everything you could want is here … with the exception of a hot tub. See, I told you it is a rough life. But they have wireless internet access with a very strong signal and it works from the comfort of your own MoHo so that makes it awesome for me. We hung out on the beach that afternoon and took it easy in the sun and sand. Then we fired up the BBQ and had dinner outside for a change. The weather was, as I am sure you are all assuming is the case at this point, hot and sunny and we were already feeling like we were enjoying an insouciant holiday. Mission Accomplished!

Today’s word:

insouciant \in-SOO-see-uhnt\, adjective:
Marked by lighthearted unconcern or indifference; carefree; nonchalant.
