Camping at Fort Bragg

 
 
 
We had a great time camping at Mackerricher State Park at Fort Bragg, CA a week or so ago. The Runyans invited us to come along with them. We actually went a couple of days before them, stayed in a motel, rode the Skunk Train and then set up camp. We enjoyed the kids, both laughing at them and with them. It was great to cool off at the coast. Camping is always fun, but it is nice to get home, shower, sleep in a raised bed, and be rid of the smokey smell. We have this infamous camping box we've been working on for a few years. It is actually a toolbox on wheels. We joke that EVERYTHING you'd need for camping is in the box. It also serves as our 72 hour kit. It is nice to not have to pack up the kitchen for camping - everything is already in the box! We made dutch oven carnitas with cornbread on top - YUMMY! The silverish looking sluglike things on the rocks in the 3rd picture are sea lions.

So pretty. Bummed we didn't get to come with. We'll have to have a big camping trip next year since it looks like it won't happen this year. Andrea's kids are fun to laugh at/with aren't they?

That looks like so much fun, even if I am not a big camper, I do enjoy my toilet:) I like doing all the camping stuff during the day and then going to my comfy hotel bed at night. Jamie and I were just saying that we need to come and see you all. It would be fun.
