craft lab: sand castles


What do we do at the beach? We make ourselves at home. First thing, I have to set up camp. On this day, we packed light, so just a vintage sheet and some towels. Next up, building a castle in the sand. Castles were the theme of this trip(we hit up Hearst Castle a couple days later). Boy, was I excited to build a new version. No drips on this beauty. We dug lots of underground tunnels and filled them up with water. The kids loved it.

Santa Barbara Sea Life




Our camping trip to Santa Barbara was a blast. The skies were a bit overcast from a fire just up the coast, but that didn't slow us down a bit. We spend our time running on the beach in the mornings. Then we roamed the beach, watching dolphins, seals, and pelicans. I tried so hard to get a good shot of the dolphins, here's my best attempt.
