HOME ON THE WATERFRONT

Who says having a home with waterfront property is expensive? Take a look at this photo and you will see the view we had from our home just a mere 3 feet from the waters edge. It is days like today that being a marine driver and delivery boats makes it all worthwhile.

We awoke early to get into Newport Beach before there was any traffic and pulled up in front of the dealership at 5:30am. As you might be able to tell, the streets were very narrow and we spent some time figuring out what we thought would be our best attempt at getting backed into their loading area. After a couple of false starts and getting out and surveying the area on foot, we made our final approach and had success. So off to McDonald's we went to celebrate.

We enjoyed a nice breakfast and took off on foot with coffees in hand down the street. Within minutes we were at the Pacific Ocean and hearing the sound of the waves against the shore. We were a tad bit envious of the homeowners whose houses lined up and down the shoreline, but then I remembered what we pay for our roving home (zero $) compared to what they must have paid and are still paying to live there $$$$$$.

If you look closely at the photo of the houses you will see the naked statue in the front courtyard area. Since this is a PG13 rated blog, I strategical placed the palm fond as to not offend anyone. (It was purely by mistake that it happened that way). We sat out on the beach, had Craig pose for a photo opportunity, and then watched the sunrise. Ahhhh, what a relaxing way to start the day. As it neared the time for the dealership to open, we reluctantly made our way back to the truck. Yes, it's days like this that make enduring the snow and ice in Wyoming so worthwhile!

Darn, my daughter is just a whistle away in Huntington Beach....I think she reads your blog too!!! It is lovely living, but you know what...most days I'd rather have my peace and quiet, no close neighbors and wildlife...and then their is your little bit of paradise in the passenget seat. Any great plans for Christmas? Home in Newport or California?

We'll be on the road for Christmas headed to New York Mills, Minnesota to pick up a load of boats. Looks like we will have a white Christmas!
