School let out on Friday!!! I can't believe I finished my very first year teaching in my own classroom! Time flew so quickly, I can't believe it's already been a year since our first post on this blog! To celebrate, Jeremiah and I joined our cousins, Rebecca and Nolan, at San Simeon State Park in Cambria for a weekend of camping on the beach! With delicious food prepared by Rebecca, a beautiful walk on the beach, a fun walk through downtown Cambria, yummy s'mores by a cozy campfire, and nights of the Quidler card game, fellowship, and star-gazing, we couldn't have asked for anything better. This was also a wonderful way to spend my 27th birthday! We brought Sandy for her very first camping trip, and she was loved by all. The camp ground insisted that dogs remain on a leash, so we attached the leash and let her walk wherever she pleased! She loved eating all the dirt, the grass and the leaves. In fact, she hardly had any appetite for her dog food! She never barked as I feared she might during night time, but she slept through both nights completely! I'm not sure if she missed Clara or not, but she sure seemed to love her freedom and all of the attention!Our new 5-person tent worked out really well, although I would be miserable if we tried to fit 3 more people in there! The two of us and Sandy filled up the space quite nicely as is! Perhaps one of my favorite parts of the adventure was waking up at 3:30AM, cuddling with Sandy as if she were my stuffed animal, and listening to the very loud sounds of the ocean waves filling the air. I felt so relaxed, and I know Jeremiah can completely agree! It was a weekend well worth waiting for!
