First Camping Trip

Last October Mollie's school had a week of furlough so we took advantage of the off season vacation time and headed to the beach for our first camping trip. Thinking that here on the west coast the beach weather is perfect in the fall Sunset State Beach would be a great place. Well, it was clean, quiet and we had the perfect spot for tent camping. (Our tent was in a shelter area from the wind.) But it was cold. Really cold. And damp. The second day we were there we spent the afternoon getting a couple games at Target and playing them in our tent while we waited out the rain. We also spent time on the beach playing in sand and flying our kite. Girls had lots of fun. Us grown-ups had fun too, but we were happy to get back home into a warm house and comfortable beds. Next time we will pick a warmer place. Or Grandma's backyard!
