Striking out, heading north

Manchester Beach, Late June 2007

Early summer I decided to test my single parenting skills and took the kids camping overnight at the Manchester Beach KOA in Mendocino County. Wasn't quite roughing it... we had a cabin that had a microwave and fireplace. Most of the trip was about getting there. I took Highway 1 the whole way, I'd forgotten how beautiful and dramatic the coast is. The rest of the summer I spent many weekends driving up and down the coast.The beach was gorgeous, and we spent most of the night by the bonfire roasting marshmallows and making smores. Next time, we'll be pitching a tent.
