Pacifica, California - An Ocean of Inspiration

The Capital of NorCal
When making your way up the Pacific coast from points south you might notice the gradual climate shift. Exchanging smog for fog and shorts for pants. While some full-time traveling families might complain about the chilly mornings, we embrace them in sweatshirts and get on with our creative pursuits.

San Francisco RV Resort 
I make no bones about the ocean being an incubator of my inspiration. Pulling into San Francisco RV Resort is an exciting destination for that reason. Each site is close to the cliffs above the crashing waves. Most sites maintain a view of the Pacific; a partial view in some cases. This ocean perch situates those who listen in front of an endless flow of creativity with each Pacific wave.
Each member of the Wilde family was effortlessly bustling with creative energy. Matthew peddled his candy business to other traveling youths. Ella worked toward ten thousand words in her first manuscript (not all in one sitting, of course). Abby worked on perfecting her mug cake masterpiece. Jon worked on engineering a desk solution for the RV.
The resort is simple and functional. Occasioanlly, I prefer asphalt sites. Easy to level the rig, less dirt to sweep and cleaner kids. The resort store, showers and laundry are some of the best we have seen in months. Clean and hassle free- does it get any better than that?

Hiking, Biking, Running and Swimming

We had fun from sunrise to sunset. Head south to Mori Point. A great place to explore on a bike or on foot. Check out Bootlegger's Staircase on leg day. Go north to Mussel Rock for ocean side trails and beautiful cliffs. Take a dip in the pool at sunset and get ready to do it all again- it won't get old.

Final Verdict
Aside from great amenities our family found deeper creative fulfillment. The tide of inspiration and productivity is natural here. If you are looking for a place that offers both, San Francisco RV Resort is the place for you.

Acton, California - Summer Mud Magic

Image
Matt smears the mud on his body grinning ear to ear. As he bends over the huge metal bowl filled with gooey brown mud he grabs the spoon to give it a stir. Just a few more swirls for the perfect consistency. There is an art to the perfect mud cake and he has it down. A commuter train rumbles in the distance blowing it's horn as it nears the RV park. Jonathan, Matt's older brother, looks on and wonders if the train is tooting its approval; probably not. Matt hears the train so often that he no longer responds. He is too engrossed in muddy endeavors to notice anyhow. "Put it on your face! I dare you, Matt." Jonathan knows how to get his brother to do almost anything - especially for laugh. Sinking his hands into the dark chocolate mud Matt flashes a mischevious grin. Mom is going to be pissed, the anticipation he feels is electric. He pulls up a handful of mud the size of a horse turd and starts to dab his cheeks. "Oh man! You did it! I can't believe ...

Santa Rosa, California - Primal Dating

Image
Dating my wife took a significant turn after siring four children. We don't feel as romantic when we go out. When we get a dating opportunity, our destination is the grocery store. Grocery shopping isn't something you get dressed-up for anyhow and acting romantic in the market is beyond creepy. I can't describe the relief we feel when we break free in the market. We act like kids on Christmas. We dream about meandering through the produce, giggling to ourselves. Sometimes we stop and read through nutrition information all the way to the vitamin and mineral section. We even let other adults cut in front of the sample line just to drag out our date a few more minutes. Put simply, we are easy to please. The modern spouse-dating standard is set too high for us. If we scroll through social media and try to keep up with our peers, we would need knock over a bank before going out. Wine tasting, jet skiing, antique scavenging and annual trips to VEGAS!! Not our idea of...

Preston, California - Travel Life Trade-offs (Pt. 1)

Image
People make comments about the road-life we lead. Most say we are blessed, lucky, fortunate or favored (some think we are dangerously irresponsible). The comments come with a hint of wishful yearning from people envisioning their lives in full-time travel mode. There is a romantic jealousy epidemic these days and a few things need to be set straight. Be prepared to bear with me; this might take a few posts. To begin, road-life is easily confused with vacation life. We hear about families taking the leap into their RV only to spend their savings, complicate close relationships and end their trip in bitter regret. Our first attempt at the nomadic life ended the same way with the tragic results. The Wildes naively set out on full-time vacation three years ago. Here is what we learned. Vacation is a healthy drug. Most people use vacation as an annual therapy. But too much of a good thing is too much of a good thing. All of us acted like addicts when we went on full-time vacati...
