DAY 3:
Our 2nd full day in Malibu was Thanksgiving. We went to Whole Foods in Thousand Oaks the night we arrived, so that we could stock up on food for our stay. We bought prepared turkey and gravy, Gardein for me, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, cranberry sauce and rolls.
We decided to set a timer on the camera and shoot more photos of us being silly by the airstream. Fun times!
3 turkeys in an airstream for Thanksgiving!
We hadn’t done much exploring at Malibu Beach RV Park, so Matt and I decided to go on a walk up the hill and down the bluff.
There were 4 Airstreams, including ours, at the park. This one had 3 tires on each side, so we are guessing it was larger than our 31 footer.
There was a lovely Argosy facing the ocean down a few spots from us.
These people had the right idea….next time we’ll bring bikes. They also had movies playing on a screen on the side of their RV at night!
RVers apparently get very into holiday decorations. Love this turkey inflatable. Also, we saw lots of dogs walking around. Some people even set up little pens or tents for their dogs to run around in.
It wouldn’t be an RV park without flamingos.
You are on a hillside, so snakes live around these parts.
We are in the front row, but there are elevated sites up higher…pretty incredible views.
Pretty much anywhere in the park has an amazing view.
Lots of palm trees and greenery, with a beachy backdrop
Mandatory ocean background photos
Airstreamy got some neighbors overnight…we are on the right.
There were some $$$ coaches here….some I looked up were like $450,000 RVs!
Like this Prevost one… $$$$
Nice view from a large site up top
We walked down a path below the park and looked up to see Airstreamy.
I totally forgot to buy some of this wine at the onsite store! Happy Camper is the coolest name ever!
We got back to the airstream and started prepping for thanksgiving dinner. Matt worked on the green beans.
I worked on stovetop preparations, with the gravy, green beans and stuffing. We only brought 1 pan with us, so we ended up having to spend $22 at the onsite store to buy a couple more.
Matt lit the oven for me, so we could bake my gardein and heat up their turkey.
Matt stung up some Christmas lights our grandma had given us.
Then, we started our feast at sunset (which is at like 4:30 in the afternoon).
My plate is gardein, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, a roll and cranberry sauce.
We had a blast!
Seriously….beyond epic views (epic is a major California word that I brought back to AZ with me).
Tomorrow is a lazy beach day!
Josh here from the BlinkPack blog. Fun, fun, fun! I just purchased a 1969 Shasta Compact, and I can’t wait to take it on the road. Thanks for the inspiration, and happy travels. Cheers!
I am so delayed in updating my blog! I just checked out your site and I am excited to dig in. I love the idea of blinkpacking….we just got back from day trippin’. Our schedules don’t allow us to travel as much as we would like. I am going to add your blog to our favorite sites page! Happy travels! 🙂
