Our "Staycation"

Jeff and I were starting to feel that our life was a little too mundane and we got a little anxious for a family outing. Our only obstacle was our budget. What could we do with a small amount of money? We decided to stay home but go without the luxury of our home. We went to Huntington Beach State Park to pitch our tent. We were very close to the ocean but I didn't want to get sand in my camera and so I missed out on the beach pictures. But here are a few of the things we did that I was able to snap a few shots of.

The kids, playing where Jeff and I had plans on sleeping. We will need a new one because this one ended up with a slow leak and we ended up sleeping on top of an air mattress that held no air. haha! Of course we had to build a fire since we did plan on eating while we were there. We had hobo dinners the first night and hot dogs the second night.

We saw several Alligators on our walk at the Fresh Water Lagoon.

No worries, we were not camping near these fellas.

And we had smores for dessert each night!

We had a great time and look forward to doing it again in the Fall.
