Beach Camping!

This past week we joined my brother and his wife, and some of her family, for some fun beach camping at Refugio Beach (See above photo), just north of Santa Barbara! My sister in law has been going there every summer for the past 20 years and I thought we would join the great tradition! It is a great place to camp! The weather was beyond perfect - clear and warm all day with no fog! - and we spent the days at the beach, going on walks, kayaking, taking the kids on bike rides, watching the seals, dolphins and sea birds, playing at the playground, cooking up camp food, and enjoying games and campfire at night with the adults!! My parents came up to visit for a day and we had a guest visit from Doug & Sheelah. I was a little hesitant about tent camping with Mitchell and afraid he may not sleep very well, but he was a champ and both kids slept soundly all night (I think we wore them out sufficiently during the day). We had a great time and we are already looking forward to next year!
