Camping in Crystal Cove

 Trent had been looking to camp at this spot for some time but the place was always reserved! On Wednesday he checked and it just happened to have an opening on Friday night. So we packed up our Suburban to the brim and made our trek south. We got a later start to our drive and then hit some traffic. When we got to our spot we were so excited! The view was incredible. The kids were in heaven. WE set up camp and then had our delicious dinner of macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. Yum!





 We couldn't get enough of the beautiful sunset. Wow!





 We all got snuggled into our nice cozy tent and watched a little movie on our laptop. We kept toasty warm and loved hearing the sounds of the waves at night.










 In the morning we had breakfast and then packed up our stuff and headed down to the beach.




 It was a perfect day. Trent and the boys enjoyed body surfing and having fun in the waves. Jaida and Allie made sand villages.
 The boys came and dug a huge hole and were taking turns filling it up with water.






 Allie was having a blast chasing the birds everywhere. It was really cute. Perhaps the coolest thing of the trip was when we saw killer whales swim right by us.



It will be one of our most favorite memories. It was a lot of work to get there, but so incredibly worth it. We will be returning for sure, but this time for more than one night.
