You probably think that I have dropped off the face of the earth. Or at least you were thinking Where the hell is Marlene and her super exciting posts? I have had enough of Dan’s super geeky informational posts. Solar shmolar. Hehe. Well, I’m back. Actually, I never left. I Read more…
During our travels in the Airstream (aka Mali Mish), we run across some of the most amazing little restaurants that make our hearts pitter patter and our full stomaches asking for just one more bite. Instead of keeping them a secret for ourselves, we are going to be kind and share the details. Bless our hearts.
Over New Year’s break, we spent some time camping with our Airstream in San Onofre, California. Dan had an early morning conference call so we drove into San Clemente so he could steal borrow the Wi-Fi from Starbucks and so Ava and I could grab a bite to eat. There were a few greasy spoons within walking distances but none of them were calling our names. We were just about to give in as I caught a glimpse of this place from the corner of my eye. La Tiendita Mexican Restaruant. Whenever Dan and I need to make a decision on which unknown restaurant to try, we usually steer towards Mexican food… and 9 out of 10 times, we make a good decision. This was no exception.
I just ran across this cool place in Texas called Three Points Ranch. If I ever get married again… umm… to the same man, of course… this might just be the place for us. Check it out. Airstreams and barns and wildflowers. the end, marlene
Look Ava! There’s something in the water. What do you think it is? The Loch Ness Monster? Close enough. Good job! the end, marlene
Hmmm. I bet you are wondering how we did without any hook-ups last weekend at Thornhill Broome State Beach, huh? Well, we did just fine! I’m still alive and blogging, ain’t I? We tried our best to be Mr. and Mrs. Conservative on this two-night trip. Water Water-wise, we did Read more…
See these lights on our Airstream? Pretty, huh?? Well, there will be none of that. And that big water spot under the Airstream due to a leaky connector? None of that also. You see, we are going dry camping this weekend. AKA no water. AKA no electricity. AKA ahhhh. I’m Read more…
I don’t know if it’s the weather or what… but it’s confession time once again here at Mali Mish. You see, I have a secret to share. About our bathroom situation. Actually, not just one secret, but two. I’ll start with number two. Ahmmm. I don’t let Dan go ‘number Read more…
Our cat Yoda is doing fairly well on our road trips. She doesn’t mind the drives too much nor the confined space of the trailer. But she always needs a few hours to adjust when we first get settled into a new site. Sometimes we roll her up like a Read more…
I have a confession to make. I cover up the gaucho seat and dining area with blankets. Because of this thing. A thing called a toddler. But I can’t put all the blame on her. She doesn’t really make TOO much of a mess when restrained to her portable high Read more…
We ended up camping at the San Mateo Campground in San Onofre during New Year’s week for 5 nights. If I had to rate this campground, I would probably give it just an average score. We haven’t been to too many sites so far with the Mali Mish Airstream but Catalina State Park in Tuscon, The Shady Dell in Bisbee and El Capitan State Beach just outside of Santa Barbara are still my top three campgrounds so far. And if these are my references, San Mateo is just “alright”.

Hey Ava? I think it is time for ‘the talk’. Okay? Ummm, I guess so?? So this is how you wax a surfboard. Pay attention. Wax on. Wax off. Thanks Daniel-son. Bye Dada. Be safe. Catch that one Dada. It looks totally tubular, dude! Just another day at San Onofre Read more…
