Ocean Trip

This past weekend we took our 2nd annual summer camping trip with our great friends Jason, Wendy and their little girl, Avery. We had such a great time! Last year we roughed it and did the whole tent thing, but opted out of that this year and got a cute little cabin/trailer. It was a two bedroom place with a kitchen and "spacious living area"...or so they said. It was two bedroom and it did have a kitchen, but boy were they small! Mainly the bedrooms. Samantha ended up sleeping in the closet and Wendy was so claustrophobic that she couldn't even sleep in their room! The "spacious living area" wasn't so spacious either. BUT, we made it work and ended up having plenty of room despite the tight quarters.

The first morning we were there the sun was out and it turned out to be a great day for the beach. The beach was amazing, with sand dunes and lots of rocks and caves to explore. We all had a blast playing in the sand and water, climbing the dunes, and attempting to fly a kite. The wind wasn't quite strong enough, so unless you kept running with it it didn't really get up. We also had a BBQ that night and roasted marshmallows over the fire. It finally felt like true camping!

We had one soggy day, where it just poured down rain all day. Bummer! We made the best of it though! Our family took a little drive and ended up at an arcade joint where Sam got a ton of tickets collected to get some fun little prizes. We then headed back to play some rock band and have a dance party with the kids. That night we also took advantage of the pool that was located in the resort we stayed in.

The last day we were there, Monday, the weather was gorgeous. We decided to stop in Seaside on the way home and grab lunch, stop by the beach and visit a few shops. After all the fun there it was home sweet home!

Thanks Jason and Wendy for a great weekend! We're be looking forward to next year's adventures!
