Camping at Jalama State Beach

Here's Dave getting back to his caveman roots.

Bea loved all the attention she got from her friends Katie and Melissa (and Andy and Jeff.)

We found a sea star with four rays.

Friday was my last day of work for three weeks. After our workdays were done we packed the car and headed up to Jalama State Beach for a weekend of camping with our friends Andy, Katie, Jeff, and Melissa. They had set up camp early in the day so when we finally got there at midnight we were all ready for some sleep.

Bea and I walked out of the tent the next morning to the fresh ocean air and a seagul flying above us. Bea's eyes were wide with amazement. The rest of the weekend was spent taking long walks and exploring on the beach, climbing cliffs, grilling and talking. I'm hooked. I can't wait to do this again.
