Camping

We have completed the first three stages of our USA vacation and can't believe how fast time is flying by.

Stage 1- Coronado Island
Stage 2- Oceanside
Stage 3- Camping in Lake Casitas
Stage 4- Paines in Shell Beach (in process)

Camping was so, so fun! I was a little nervous about how this would go with a toddler and baby for four nights, but it was seriously great. We rented a 18' trailor which made life so much easier. We enjoyed the sunny weather and many fun outings to Ojai and Ventura. It was great to be active, go jogging and get private Pilates lessons from Jen. Josiah really got into the rocks, sticks, throwing leaves in the campfire, and getting filthy from head to toe. Best of all it was great to just be together. All of the Paines share the "love languages" of quality time and words of affirmation, so it an encouraging time of hanging out.
