Camping at Big Basin

It finally feels like summer around here! The weather has warmed up and we were able to get out of town to enjoy a fantastic camping trip with the Luton family. We stayed in Big Basin State Park up in the Santa Cruz mountains. It was kid heaven up there -- tons of space to roam, tree "caves" galore, banana slugs, s'mores, a cozy tent for sleeping. What more do you need?

So many FUN trees, including "Mother of the Forest."

It looks like you had so much fun. It reminds me of my youth when we went to Yosemite.
