A Couple Days at the Coast.


Joanne and Dave rented a house at Dillon Beach which is at the mouth of Tamales Bay and the Pacific Ocean. They rented the house for a week and invited us to come spend Monday and Tuesday night with them.

The House.

The house was built back in the early 1930’s so it is probably close to 90 years old.
It was built by a distant relative of Dave’s and is still in the family.
They only rent the place to family members and the house is well taken care of.

The ocean side of the house is mostly windows and…

has a fantastic view of the ocean and the Tamales Point.

A Relaxing Few Days.

I think this kind of sets the tone for the visit.

We spent our time watching the surf…

We spent a lot of time at this table by the window playing cards, eating, drinking and enjoying the view.

Dinner Out.

Monday evening we went to an old road house in Valley Ford for an Italian dinner.

This place has also been here for a long time, maybe a hundred years.

After supper we went back to the house and arrived in time to watch the sunset.

Mornings on The Porch.

It was really nice to have coffee on the porch in the mornings and watch the goings on’s on the beach and in the water.

Wednesday morning a large fog bank crept in from the ocean.

and by noon the house was fogged in.
Patti and I said our goodbye's and thanks to Joanne and Dave for a wonderful visit and headed for home.
