A Break!

The weekend after everyone left, we went camping at Dillon's Beach. We just packed up and forgot about swim meets, soccer games etc. and went. Let me tell you, camping with a trailer is the bomb! A lot less work for me!

Dillon's Beach is one of our favorite places because there are no assigned camp spots. You drive in and pick your spot. It is open range and there are a lot of dried cow patties around which make great kindling wood. The cows are not there this time of year. Lawson's Landing is the name of the campground. It is privately owned by the Lawson family but environmentalists are trying to shut it down to make it available to all the public. This doesn't make sense because it is available to all the public to camp there.

The weather was perfect there. It was cool in the 60's overnight and about 75 during the day. A marine layer would come in about 11am and stay until about 3pm. It was too cold to play in the ocean but the girls had fun playing games, doing each others hair and going down the sand dunes on their snow saucers.

It was a much needed break and a great way to spend our anniversary weekend! The girls didn't even fight! My Mom, Dick and Missy came to visit for the day. We had a lot of fun and hope to do it again soon!




A man was there with this. We thought he was going to fly it but he was just cleaning it out.

sleeps 6-8 depending on how many kids. It has 3 queens and 2 singles
quite roomy and it is the perfect size for us. We ought to get together sometime! And drag all of our tent camping friends!
