Bill and I went camping at Leo Carrillo this past weekend. It was really nice to have 3 whole days with just the two of us. Bill had his shift change and i was lucky enough to have my Saturday shift covered. So off we went.... when we got to the camp grounds the place was pretty much full. We had our choice of 4 campsites. the 1st one being the best we took it, little did i know at the time but this one was on a slope.....Yes every night there's bill sleeping soundly and I'm sliding off the dang air mattress like every hour. lets just say i was a little cranky! But it gets better..... on our second night those cute adorable creatures we call squirrels decided to chew though our tent. yes our brand new tents now has a hole! I can't blame the little guys, it was my fault, we were going down to the bathrooms so i put a bag of food inside thinking we'll be gone like 10 mins. those guys are quick by the time we got back the damage had be done. oh well just one more thing added to the list to fix before our camping trip in June.Well we had some fun trying to get the fire started the 1st night. Bill having been a boy scout made the classic tee pee. we collected kindling put that in the middle added some newspaper and threw in a match, it started but then soon started to die out. so bill goes added more kindling which works the fire picks up again, at this point the wood starts to catch on fire i tell bill stop adding stuff, does he listen NO... he keeps added more things and knocks over the tee pee and out goes the fire, mind you we do this little dance about 2 more times before bill listens and leaves the fire alone. well from this event the next morning we head out to the little store and bill picks up some lighter fluid.
Later the day we head out to the beach (which is just on the other side of pch) it's cold and looking like it's going to rain, we climb up some rocks and take picture and watch the surfers. It was a very peaceful afternoon. we got back to camp made lunch and then took a walk around the campgrounds (the whole time I'm thinking i like this site better no wait this one) so as we walk I'm taking metal notes of the campsite number just in case we come back here, I'm not going to be stuck and a slope again!

You are guys are so fun! I love that you went camping! Sad about the squirrels eatting a hole into your tent though. That is no fun . .. and the miss hap with starting a fire and the slope thing. But, over all, I would say it sounds very fun. I really want to do a family camping trip. REALLY BAD. Hopefully soon. When does life slow down? I am not so sure.
i wish rob liked camping! i want to take the kids so bad!
and i love your bedroom, by the way. we have very similar taste!
What a great memory to add to your life! And the squirrel, classic Mia, classic. It's okay, we left food in our bag at the beach and the birds got to it. Sometimes life is a little to Hitchcock for it's own good. :) Would love to see more pix of the beach-looks beautiful!
