I brought along my partner for a weekend getaway. We arrived mid-afternoon, set up our site, and then wandered hand in hand to the pier at sunset. The sky blushed pink and lavender; we just sat and watched.

For dinner, we cooked blackened fish tacos with cabbage slaw and a cilantro-lime crema. We ate at our picnic table under string lights I brought from home. Later we dipped in our RV’s outdoor shower and swapped stories.

The next day we kayaked, then took a short drive to explore tidal flats and small coastal shops. We capped everything with a romantic sunset sail charter we booked locally. The intimacy of the bay, the gentle rhythms, made it a trip to remember.
