Camping!

A couple of weeks ago we went camping with “auntcy” -thats Aunt and Nancy put together. We went to a great place called Steep Ravine. I’ll have to  let Jeramy tell you how hard it is to book a spot. It’s rough. You have to book like 6 months in advance or if you are adventurous enough you can go to the Pan Toll Ranger Station after 2pm and see if there were any cancellations. But, you’ll need to have all your stuff ready!

All of us had a great time and I have to say, camping in a cabin… MUCH BETTER THEN A TENT! Each cabin has a set of bunks and two large platforms for beds. And a smaller platform in the “living area” Thats where Nancy always slept when she went. It’s right by the fire and cozy. In each cabin is a wood burning stove, a picnic type table and a counter top area. NO heater! No electricity, and no WiFi.  The restrooms were in a separate building just up the hill. Not too far. Well… unless you have to go in the middle of the night. Or, you wait too long and tell the adult you are with you have to go RIGHT after they just got back to the cabin… then it seemed like a HIKE! 😉

I brought books and magazines and knitting. Not sure what I was thinking. 😉

The kids had a blast! The little ones were had lots to do just walking up and down and all around. They looked for lizards and watched for whales and dolphins and the big kids just had fun hanging in the cabins chilling and not having the little kids bugging them to play!

We took walks and drove to Stintson Beach a few times. Jillian had SO much fun in the sand and what a way to work on her balance! I’m so thankful the sand doesn’t bother her. She loved it! She walked and stopped and squatted. Totally the type of workout she needs! Maybe we should more there! 😉

Really, this was my kind of camping. A store, restaurants, latte’s and a beach right around the corner! Perfect!
