Every year we go beach camping for our summer vacation, and every year it just gets better and better. (Well, it gets better since the first year we went with kids!) This year we stayed at the San Mateo Campgrounds in San Clemente, and we LOVED it. Clean, shady, lots of trees, respectful workers and other campers, really pretty area. The best part though was of course hanging out on the beach ALL DAY every day for a week.
Cool salty breeze, lots of wonderful family, friendly beach-goers, yummy snacks, sand toys galore, cold water, lots and lots and lots of sunscreen, comfy beach chairs and umbrellas, a good book...
IT WAS HEAVEN.
I could sit and relax and just let the kids PLAY. And play they did, ALL DAY every day, without one whine or compaint or whimper. Like I said...HEAVEN!
We were so sad to leave, and are already looking forward to next year!
Lots of pics, in no particular order...
