Costanoa Arrival

Just North of Santa Cruz along a remote stretch of Pacific coast is a fancy retreat called Costanoa Lodge.  Neb had told me that this place also had a campground on its property and that it was not to be missed. Sure enough, this was the sweetest "campground" we have ever seen. Just a beautiful setting with the coast on one side of us and rolling foothills on the other. On one side of the property was a beautifully manicured RV park and the other side was the Lodge, Restaurant, Horse Stables, Spa, Activity Center, Hospitality Centers (immaculately kept bathrooms/showers) and little canvas "tents" for upscale visitors. Patrons of the RV park were welcome to use all of the other facilities, so we started by enjoying burgers (and a draft local beer for me) at the "Pine Tent" upon our arrival after a long day at Monterey. We had reservations for three nights. Not too shabby.

The girls improvised a game of soccer/volleyball while I got the rig hooked up. Rachelle was due to fly in the next day, so the girls were exited for her arrival. We all crashed pretty hard that night.
