Lucky people,
We wish we were with you on the relaxing stops at the coast.
We are not there yet. I prepare in advance for our weekends, while working full time. We get off at 5 PM and dash down to the coast for the weekend. And then relax for almost two wonderful days.
Breakfast? We usually have a hard boiled egg, some cereal or a bagel. The eggs were boiled before we left for the weekend.
We usually grab a sub for dinner on our way to set up at the campground. No cooking. On Saturday we usually have a nice dinner that has been pre-prepared and reheated in the
microwave.
During the winter at the coast you often have to face drizzle or rain early in the morning. But boy oh boy are the hiking trails beautiful. Especially with an extra nice sandwich prepared with sunflower seeds, avacadoes, some chicken or cheese. Along with a nice thermos of hot tea to warm up with after the hike. We rarely go to the coast during the summer months.
We trek to the mountains, where the weather is so beautiful that we do all of our cooking outdoors over the fire or on the coleman stove. Unless the skeeters are out. Then we retreat to our wonderful little trailer!
Short weekend trips call for a microwave! We are lucky that our
Casita has such a large
fridge. Holds everything we need for a weekend. Even a freezer. We need to try ice cream. Anyone tried it? A new experience for us after our coleman tent trailer and ice chest.
