Camping near Santa Cruz

Happy Campers after a "no driving" day!

Change of plans.  The fires in the Big Sur halted our plans for camping and hiking there.  We were tired of driving each day so set up camp at a KOA near Santa Cruz.  S'mores, popcorn and a relief from the hot temps are welcome.  

Camping at KOA

After a no driving day filled with biking, swimming and jumping the kids went to bed early.  There is a little train that goes around the campground in the morning--as soon as Neil hears it he starts running as fast as possible his little legs flying to catch it.  



Today we drove through some seaside coastal towns and then to a 1880's steam train that goes through a native redwood forest.  

The mist falls into this entire region each afternoon.  At night it is foggy that everything is obscured.  You get damp walking to the restroom from our cabin.
