Kitty Hawk


What a great surprise. Kitty Hawk and the Kitty Hawk RV Park are very cool. From the moment we arrived here the family new this was a good place for us. The RV Park is a sandy area about 40 feet from the private RV park beach. We are talkin big time here.
Lily is always at her best at the Oceans edge. Any approaching teenage petulance or Hormonal temperament are gone. See plays at the waters edge and is the girl we have always known, such a beautiful thing.
I think the family may be considering a move to the waters edges. This is the first time our daughter has recognized the difference in her and she likes it. I have always wanted to be near the Ocean ands this trip may shake us lose of our SF home and move us some where we can experience the effects of big water on our lives.  If nothing else it is a provocative conversation.
 Martins beach is about 15 miles south of Half Moon Bay. This enclave of shacks, cottages, trailers on blocks and small homes is on a hillside and beach that is privately owned and has been in the hands of the same family for around 70 years or so. My Grandfather ( Nonno Roger) new a member of the family and we go to Martins beach and jump for Smelt. As  a kid I would be fascinated with the array dwellings that looked stacked like toy houses on the hill side. All of the residence of Martins beach own their little places but lease the land. The property has recently been sold and no one knows what the new owners will do with the unique---Pre-nice enclave. I only mention this because the Kitty Hawk RV Park has the same feel. Low key, un-pretentious, genuine and the people are friendly.
As you move south down Highway 12 creeping nice is all to evident. The need to make stuff look and feel the same escapes me?
As far as creating comfort through familiarity, the two chains that we have seen the most of are McDonalds and Dunkin Donuts with the Donuts possibly having an edge.

This is going to be big this year!

Bringing class to trailer parks across America.

This place was next to a gas station. As I filled up the RV the girls went in and got Pulled Pork and Brisket with corn bread and black eyed peas. Sooooooo good.
