So I never got around to making a Thanksgiving post about Cambria last year. And since this is the last year that the gathering was being held, I guess I'd better do that.
Long story short, friends of Allesy's family own a 2nd house in the beach-vacation town of Cambria, a couple of hours north from SB. Every Thanksgiving for like the last 10 years, they've invited some of their friends to come to a large gathering for the holiday weekend, and they rent out 4 or 5 other vacation homes in the immediate vacinity to provide lodging for said invited guests. AKA: totally fucking amazing and awesome of them.
I was lucky enough to spend the long weekend disconnected from most aspects of worrying about life, etc.
And now, without further ado,
This is the rented out house we were staying in. Or, more specifically, this is the view from the living room window of said house:
This is the Internet. In a Basket. The router and modem from the rental house. Which I was sufficently amused by that I decided it deserved a picture.
Down the hill, hang a left, and up a block, to the Hutchingson's house, where the actual gathering was taking place. Out their back door, onto to the deck, and turn left for this view:
And turn right for this one:
And when it gets too cold for outside, here's the view from the couch:
And from further back in the living room, right at sunset:
Speaking of sunset...
The next morning Hunny and I took a walk along the bluff trail that starts a few hundred yards from the house, taking plenty of pictures along the way.
This pic is actually from a year ago, but this year most of the pictures that actually had people in them ended up on other people's cameras.
Its a bummer that there won't be another gathering thrown next year. But with the economy going to shit the way it is, the Hutchingsons made the (quite reasonable) decision that they can't afford to host it anymore. All in all, I am greatful to them, and count myself as very lucky to have been a part of it for the last two Thanksgivings.
