708 in San Simeon

One of our favorite camping spots is San Simeon State Park.  While it has no hook-ups (neither electic nor sewer), it is a delightful spot.   Air conditioners are not needed here because of the cool coastal fog.  This is a beautiful campground with a nearby beach (no dogs allowed because of nesting Snowy Plovers).  We met up with family from Southern California and had a lovely visit with them.  We try to get here every year.  Hope some of you visit soon, too!

#708 is heading for Morro Bay!

It's going to be a fun weekend trip.  Greg and the kids will head down on Friday around noon (Bad teacher-mom, pulling the kids out of school!) with his mom, sister, and one nephew.  I'll head down after school -- possibly with my other nephew along for the ride.  We're meeting good friends -- well, family, really, in all the ways that count. It should be a relaxing, joyful weekend!  We'll head home on Sunday!

Happy Spring Break!

We're on the road again! Off to San Diego this time.

Here is our route:

We'll leave home early Saturday morning.   Our first stop is in Simi Valley where we'll visit with Greg's aunt, uncle, and cousins.  We will probably spend the night in a Walmart parking lot.  I know -- pretty high class!

Then, we're off to San Diego.  We'll stop and visit with Ron and Louise -- we hope -- on our way down.  Although, it will be Easter Sunday so who knows if that will work out!

In San Diego, we'll be visiting Legoland, SeaWorld, and the San Diego Zoo.  We are all so excited!

Here is what the weather is expected to be while we are there . . .

Perfect weather -- not too hot; not too cool.  More details will be forthcoming!  Questions remain . . . will we get my Suzuki ready to be towed in time?  Will we get the AC recharged before we go?  Will we get the last bunk fixed so that both children have a place to sleep?  Will the Easter Bunny find us in Simi Valley?  All these fascinating questions remain to be answered!

Planning for 2008

We're planning out our camping year.  We'll get there. We have a couple on our list already -- a trip to Mendocino, a trip down to San Simeon. We know we're heading for San Diego for Spring Break. We also know we want to take a long trip this summer -- maybe up north . . . maybe the southwest. Lots of plans. Lots of work to do before we can hit the road.

My goal this year is to do a better job blogging about our trips and the changes we've made to the FMC.  Feel free to nag!  :)
