Although we enjoyed seeing Davy and Curran in L.A., we were
looking forward to moving away from the city and toward the ocean today! The drive to Carpinteria was not long, but
traffic was thick for a while. Soon
after things started to thin out a bit, there we were! We saw the Pacific Ocean on the California
coast for the first time! Horray!
We found our campsite at Carpinteria State Beach
quickly. We were close to the entrance
and right on the beach! The campground
had close quarters for what we normally enjoy, but being on the beach and
within walking distance to the small town of Carpinteria was very cool. We set up camp and headed to the beach!
The boys LOVED playing in the ocean waves and digging in the
soft beach sand!
After a camp dinner, we walked into town to the Island Brewing Company. They have a “Buy a Friend a Beer”
wall and our friend, Steve, had called from Colorado earlier in the week and
bought two beers for us for when we arrived!
What an awesome surprise! We sat
enjoying the views of the Pacific while drinking delicious brews. The boys liked watching the people there
while they ate pretzels. Then, we found
a pretty cool playground on our way back to the campsite! Fun!
We ended our stay at Carpinteria the next morning (and my 35th
birthday!) with a walk on the beach at low tide, searching for pretty stones
and shells to keep as souvenirs. Oh
happy day!
