To end our summer nicely, Jeremiah and I took a trip to the Big Sur campgrounds with our friends Melissa and John. The ride was long, but the beauty of the area and the Redwood trees were worth it! We stayed for three nights and explored some hiking trails at Pfeiffer State Park and drove the infamous 17-mile drive around Pebble Beach State Park. John and Jeremiah traveled the mountains of our campsite for wood, so we really felt like pioneers...that, and we had to walk 10 minutes to get to the restroom! :) (at least it felt like 10 minutes at 2:00 in the morning in pitch blackness!) While the trip was definitely enjoyable, I'm still getting used to this idea of camping and being covered in dirt for three days straight... there was no grass at Big Sur... but there WAS a really nice river to go tubing down! The river felt like ice, and it was oh so fun stepping out of the river and into the 60 degree weather... and then waiting IN LINE for a shower while my body trembled in the cold.... but we DID have fun :) :) :) Next time, Jeremiah promised me that we'll go for two days at a time and then stay at a hotel... The things we do to show our husbands we love them!
