Ayrton and I had a great adventure camping out at San Clemente State Beach in Southern California. We flew out non stop from Austin to Long Beach on JetBlue. I just love the roomy leather seats and direct tv. Next we picked up a rental RV from 1st Choice RV in Irvine (ask for Doug). Our last stop for preparation was Trader Joes for all our supplies. Man I miss this store. I sure hope they open one up in Austin someday soon.
Ayrton and I got to our camp site and settled in to our little home on the road. Our 24 RV was quite spacious - and the pop out made it even moreso. We went on a nice little hike down to the the beach. There were lots of neat caves in the cliffs and the Amtrack Surfliner train passed by frequently. It's neat to watch the train along the beach. It brought back many memories of camping here as a child with my family each summer.
We had the pleasure of spending time with lots of family and friends during our visit. My sister Tammy, brother-in-law Rick and nephew Korye made the trip down from Tehachapi. They stayed the night with us at our camp site. My uncle Jesse and aunt Juanda came down the next morning and shared some great stories about my father while we snacked on fruits and cheeses.
Later that day, Ayrton's uncle Ricky came down with his boys. Their timing was perfect as the sun came out from the coastal eddie behind which it had been hiding all weekend. We all had a blast playing in the sun and surf for hours. We even had a chance to bury Ayrton in the sand.
We all thoroughly enjoyed the amazing sunset. That night after dinner, we capped of a great little vacation with smores around the camp fire. Life is good.
