Big Sur Weekend Get Away

After getting a text message from my Brother in Law Myles a few sundays ago offering to let us borrow his Jayco- we decided to do a little last minute trip up the coast to Big Sur and Monterey.  It was a very last minute trip, Ben got reservations for our campsite the day before.

So Friday we set out for our 8 hour drive to Big Sur.  Both of us thought it would be A LOT closer.  But the drive was fun and Ruby and LuLu were super star travelers... on the way there.  Our snack of choice while driving to Big Sur is Crackers with cheese and Avocados, not an easy snack, but so yummy.

We pulled into our campsite at 11:00pm.  If was pretty stressful setting up Jayco and parking the car, not wanting to wake up the neighbors, but we finally did and had an awesome night sleep.  In the morning when Ruby and Ben stepped out of Jayco (Picture of Jayco below), Ben told Ruby to look at the trees, and her head slowly kept tilting back further and further, she had never seen trees that tall.

It is so cool to experience these firsts with Ruby, she is so excited about things I take for granted.

Yeah for Jayco!

We left Beautiful Big Sur at 12pm and headed out to our friends: Eric and Laurel's place in Monterey.

We went swimming, I went to a baby shower for one of Laurel's church friends, which was amazing, played on the play ground, played games, and had some good laughs.

They finally became friends as we were packing up to leave.

On the way home we stopped off in Camarillo at the Steimle Bed and Breakfast, and bathed the kids, ate some awesome food and re-energized for the rest of our trip home.  

The trip was so much fun, thanks Nan and Myles for Jayco- he rocks!
