Thumbs up

While everyone was enjoying Bootleg, or Push-A-Kona camping reservations had opened, by the time I remembered at 1pm there were only 5 sites for hook-ups left, so we barely got a place to camp comfortably and by 4ish they were all gone.

So who's camping and who's hoteling it?

Maddie and I always find a "good spot" and cheer everyone we know on! This year will be no different.

Sea Otter is something my famliy looks forward to every year, and lucky for me this year my Birthday will be spent with several thousand other people who enjoy spending a raining spring weekend together!

See everyone There!

Wouldn't that be the best Birthday present ever! NO RAIN .

If it does rain, we'll have plenty of space to hang out and stay dry...2 10x10's and a very big awning. Oh and plenty of to keep the insides warm!

Camping is not an option this year. We ended up in a mud patch.

Hotel! We don't have the plush camping build that you have
I want heat! I want a bed! I don't want to have to hear Ashlie whine!

John had scheduling issues last year, too.

And, WTH is up with Short Track only being Expert? I wanna play on the Short Track!!

We are lucky enough to have PARENTS with a "real camper" one with a slide out, shower, a real stove (mmm cookies) a fridge and of course heat.

Neil hates towing the beast though, it takes us almost double the time to get there, he gripes all the way there, but once we set up and get cozy he's happy we brought it.Especially when it starts raining

Yup. I actually really enjoyed Sea Otter in 06. Except, it's a really long drive.

It doesn't take much to get Linda up to Monterey. She loves that area. We're a definite maybe.
