El Refugio

I think it was luck, but we managed a campsite at El Refugio Beach. We pulled up to see the familiar ‘campground full’ sign at the entrance, but  just asked the dumb question anyway.  “Any campsites available?”

“Sure, we have two,” the cheery ranger replied.

Kids, beach, beach forts. OK, this is good. There are so many great memories here, but for now my favorite quote from Bode telling me about the friends he made: “They’ve been camping here for 11 years! Well, not in a row.”

And just before the real heat hits, the window roller-upper breaks again. Seriously, we replace this thing annually (at least.) Luckily, a few extras have made it into the ‘parts bag’. Now, it’s just a matter of when Jason can get around to fixing it. Good news though, we found the missing fork.
