California Dreamin'

We were supposed to fly to California tomorrow. I got super cheap tickets on JetBlue.  But Mat had this look on his face when I told him how much it would cost to stay there for 6 days? And rent a car for 6 days?  I canceled the flights.  I have flight credit now on Delta (for the Caribbean cruise that didn't happen in August) and JetBlue.  How is my head supposed to remember these details?

I'm bummed about not getting to Cali this week, but Mat and I are going camping closer to home.  When we were coming home from Bryce Canyon this summer, we drove highway 17 and saw some beautiful areas over that pass.  So that is where we are going, with the trailer in tow.  Heated mattresses and weighted blankets will be sufficient to get us through!  We've camped in colder temps than they are this week.  There are lava fields up there all over, and we're not too far Coral Sand Dunes State Park.  That will be cool to see!

I have a specific date in December I'm getting on ReserveCalifornia.org, to reserve our perfect campsite near Laguna Beach for next summer.  As soon as school gets out, we'll travel south to beachier environments.
