El Chorro State Park

Last year when I was pregnant with Gannon I received Jury Summons, which obviously were postponed. My new date to appear was December 29th so we were unable to make concrete plans to travel after Christmas to visit Dave's family. As we always do (or Dave at least) we did begin to dream of what we would like to do and Disneyland popped to the front of our mind. The tentative plan was to head to LA till the 2nd of January and then head to Arroyo Grande/San Luis area after for a few days. Since I am SO lucky and was picked to be Juror number 8 in the box we were unable to stick to this plan. After being released on day 2 of jury duty we decided it would be best to reverse this plan and head to LA second. So from 11:45 on Wednesday the 30th we started to load the trailer and were done and picking up the boys by 2:30.

Because we were unable to make concrete reservations anywhere we were living a little on the edge (totally on edge for me!) and had called a few places, but decided to drive with no real destination. I know freak me out! Plan A was to park at Avila which is a first come first serve basis. Plan A didn't work out, but Plan B was a really nice option - El Chorro State Park. This ended up to be a great place to camp and you can't beat the price $26.00 for full hook ups! This is exactly why we took the trailer. Oh the holiday rate was a whopping $30.00! Totally perfect.

Gramma Toni came to visit on our first morning to join us for a cup of coffee since were weren't far from her work and she wanted to take a quick picture. So here is the family shot prior to showers!
What a beautiful place - there was a playground just to the right for the little guys.

Cute bridge crossing a little creek to the meadow and park. Are trailer is in the background.
