Well, we survived our first (of many to come) family camping trips. God blessed us with a travel trailer so the girls, the dog, Robert & I packed up and took off on a mini-vacation/trial run. It was actually a lot of fun, and the girls did really well for their first long roadtrip. We drove up to Monterey/Santa Cruz which took us about 10 hours, but we made it in one piece. We spent the first day there just hanging out at the camp site so we could work the kinks out of the trailer - its an older trailer and has a few quirks, but they were minor. The second day, we met up with Robert's aunt Annie for lunch, which was a real treat; and then did a little sightseeing - we went to the beach and drove up the coast. We're already planning our next trip over the Fourth of July, and also a super road-trip cross-country to visit my family in the mid-west. America - here comes the Grizwold's...er, I mean Gilliland's!!! Oy.

Wow!! What an adventuresome couple and brave too!!! Glad you had fun and got to see Annie. Hope you have many more fun trips!
That doesn't look like the camping we do around here. Our beaches don't even start to measure up to yours. I'm glad you had a good trip and it looks like you got away from the heat. Can't wait till you make the long trip this way. MOMMA
I was so happy to see you guys and also to meet Miss Eden and catch up with Miss Emma. They are both adorable! Your family is going strong, you are truly blessed.
Hooray! Annie got to meet her newest great-niece. Glad you had a good vacation the trailer worked out for you. They're a good thing to have with a growing family. Now if gas would go back to a decent price... <3
OK-I haven't even ventured out camping with my 2 girly girls yet! You are super human! That's it..we are getting a camper! Hey-any plans on coming up this-a-way? ha. Maybe next summer! Um-where's Chester?
