Cabo San Lucas and La Paz

Every year we travel to Cabo San Lucas for a two week fishing venture for my husband and several luxurious spa treatments for myself.

We own two weeks of timeshare vacationing at the collective Solmar Resorts just north of the Lands' end Arch.

Our first trip was on our honeymoon in 1995, we've returned every year since then. It's always great and now we have most of our families going with us.

We had great weather and fishing this year and made our first trip over to La Paz. It was quite an undertaking. The road was horrible and to add to that it was being worked on, adding new lanes. On the way back we had a torrential downpour that came down at about a rate of an inch an hour. Our car was underwater through many intersections and overheated. As we sat by the side of the road in heavy humidity, being soaked with rain and assaulted by the tiniest little gnats you can imagine we were not very happy. The beach and the food at the end of the road made it all worth while.

During a period of transition from the demanding, unrewarding profession of real estate I became highly addicted to HGTV and all their do it yourself shows and ideas. I first learned about hot glass fusing and artwork during this time. Not being a person who is afraid of new things, I got on E-bay found myself a kiln and some glass appropriate for fusing and jumped right in. If any of you out there are hot glass artists you can probably think of a number of mistakes I made just in that one brief sentence. I knew nothing about COE, ramping, holds or really anything other than I love glass and wanted to just do it. Three years later, after many mistakes, lots of money and several classes and workshops, I am finally beginning to get the hang of it.

The Great Outdoors

We just returned from a wonderful camping weekend at Morro Bay State Park, located on the Central Coast of California. If you are not familiar with this area it is approximately half way between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Very close to Hearst Castle if you are interested in a day trip from the camp grounds.
Our trip included Biking around Morro Bay, kayaking in the back bay and a wonderful fresh fish stew made in our Lodge Logic cast iron cookware over the campfire.
We have a vintage Otto tent trailer, which makes for a nice comfortable sleeping arrangement and an ideal little pull out kitchen.
Delicious!!The weather was gorgeous, as you see.
Our little dogs Tiqi and Tatu joined us for all the activities.
They really enjoy the kayaking and like to jump in for an occasional swim.
