going back to cali

We’re busy catching up after our week-long trek to California, in particular Pescadero and Butano State Park.  In the midst of all this catching up with work and other things, we’re also getting ready for Gavin to start kindergarten next week! Nevertheless, we took lots of pics on our trip and thought we should post them here before we’re completely overwhelmed.

Gavin and Lilah test out the tent once everything is set up

I'm smiling see?
Look!  Sand!
Erin said this was a "beach vacation" so we spent as much time as possible running around the various beaches near Pescadero

On our last day in Butano State Park, we said goodbye to the campsite...
