DreamOn VI - Elkhorn Slough ...

Start the morning with a brunch picnic overlooking the Pacific at Sunset Beach.

Head over to
Elkhorn Slough
where egrets fly and
otters frolic.

Kayak in the slough,
watch the sunset
into the horizon
whilst gently swaying
in the waves.

Enjoy the ambiance at Chateau Julien;
dinner and a glass of wine by the fire.

Awaken in the morn
as the rising sun's warm rays,
entering the balcony window,
alight upon your hand in mine.
