Summer is so fleeting in the Northeast, and over time, I’ve
learned to do whatever I can to soak up every second of it. Recently, I’ve been
setting aside a few extra days off in August to be ocean-side, since that’s my
favorite place to be in the warmer months. This year, my plan was to take a
long weekend on the Cape, but Josh told me that with all our traveling
this year, he was out of vacation days, and I would be flying solo this time
around. I was just about to hit “Book Room” for a hotel on the Cape when I
thought to myself, Why not go somewhere you haven’t been before? Lately, I’ve
had an itch to go somewhere in California, and I began to search for a coastal
town that would make for a perfect long-weekend getaway from New York.
