El Capitan

We spent a weekend camping at El Capitan State Beach. We had never been to this campground before so we were a little nervous but we loved it and will definitely go back soon! 

We began our road trip up north on Friday night and stopped at our friend Jason's new surf shop. We were impressed! He reopened the shop and gave us a late night tour. We picked up some new surf gear as well!

we reserved a group camping site and stayed with 7 other families. It was a blast. The group site has tons of room. Here is our set up...

Dustin loves the ocean and couldn't pass up the opportunity to kayak. There was a large crowd on the beach that cheered him on. It was fun to watch him make it over some waves and get clobbered by others. 

The campground was a great place for riding bikes. 

We stumbled upon this natural garden of wildflowers that was beautiful,

Great trees for climbing,

and a super cool rope swing

By the end of the day we were all exhausted!

We cherish these kind of trips with our family :)
Thanks to our friends the Millers and Duffins and our family, Mel, Eric, Nick, Les, Mom and Dad for being troopers and taking this trip with us. We had a great time!!
