CARPINTERIA STATE BEACH CAMPGROUND

One of my favorite places in the world. Gorgeous sunny days, warm sand, wide spacious oceanfront, spectacular sunsets and best of all-planned and unplanned grandchildren visits! Wish we could be here the entire time, but CA sadly limits length of stays, can't imagine why😕


We are here for a week, then to a very kid-unfriendly park. It was the only place that had space for this Thanksgiving week. It redeems itself a little with a heated pool and hot tub! Jim and Serena are running a 10k race in Santa Barbara on Thanksgiving morning (I know, it's a thing with them). The afternoon will be spent with the Patterson family. Some of the most gracious, welcoming and warm people on this planet. Dan has known them from his childhood in Holland, MI. Dan and Serena are family to them and we get to be family too for special occasions.
