GOLDEN GATE STATE PARK (Memorial Day 2004) |
|
| Memorial Day Weekend 2004 we camped at Golden Gate State Park.
We were in Loop B, site 10. Very nice site.
|
|
| Nice long pull-through site.
|
|
| With the camper and site all set up, we took a quick family photo.
|
|
| Our first night camping we ate dinner outside. We had
spaghetti, Great Grandma's rolls, rootbeer, and a bottle of wine (for Mom and Dad, of
course). Those 4 green buckets you see on the table are citronella to keep the
skeeters away.
|
|
| Its amazing how the kids never get tired of roasting marshmallows.
That and playing with fire.
|
|
| We hiked the Raccoon Trail all the way up to Panorama Point.
This was a 2.5 mile hike that took us about 2 1/2 hours to complete. The kids made
it. Sure, there was a little whining along the way, along with Courtney saying,
"I think I am going to faint!" But, the kids made it, and Dad didn't have
to carry anyone. They sure were hungry when we got back to the camper.
|
|
| On our second night the kids flame roasted their own hotdogs for
dinner.
|
|
| Dad fired up the charcoal (only took 75 minutes to get it going),
and grilled some great looking (and tasting) bone-in ribeye steaks.
|
|
| The kids played UNO in the bunk room after dinner while Mom and Dad
had a beer. It was a great trip.
