A family friend reserved a campsite at a very popular and difficult to book state park in North County, San Diego. When she was unable to use her reservation, the Joh(a)ns(e/o)n clan was there to snatch it up. JP and Annie are accustomed to a more rustic style of camping, so the amenities here were quite a change of pace: hot showers, flushing toilets, and a taco stand all on site! 7-Eleven, Starbucks, Patagonia, donuts, and full grocery store within a five minute walk.

The campground is located within spitting distance of a great surf break, and so JP was as happy as could be.

| Step 1: Put fork in water cup. |
 |
| Step 2: It doesn't work. |

Our neighbors to the north were a bit annoying with their chain smoking and constant guests swinging through to smoke the wacky weed. The worst was their blasting of the radio -- why?! Despite annoyance Josie, Roz, and Mama had a tongue in cheek dance party.
