Well we went camping this weekend between here and San Diego in a place called Palomar Mountain. We went with Dan's brother Mark, Julie- sis in law, and Marshall & Addy (cousins). As camping goes, the campground is nice and it feels "sequoia-ish". But... I have a few things to say about California Camping. When we were first married Dan & I would pack a few things in the Trans Am, throw the bikes on the back and find some remote place to hang out for the weekend. Fun. When the kids were babies we would throw strollers, playpens, play yards, babas, and the custom baby sleeping bag I made in the mini van and camp for the weekend. Fun, but alot of work. I love the outdoors, I love nature, hiking, stars, etc... But I am done with camping. Its dirty, dusty, and it takes too much time to set everything up. There are strange people in the campground, there are mountain lions waiting to snatch up your children the second you are fewer than 10 feet away from them. There is always the threat that you are going to be trapped in a forest fire and assume the fate of thousands of deer and coyotes. I don't know if I have gotten spoiled from renting RV's the last few years or staying in cabins, but it seems that you can enjoy the outdoors more by sleeping indoors. You have more time for hikes and exploring.
Don't get me started on mosquitos!

I have to agree. It's time for an RV. It's easier all around and the best part is going to bed clean at night.
But what about the Bunderson's annual camping trip? We will be camping as a family once a year!! Don't give up yet!
