This past weekend my son Julian and I took our first legitimate camping trip with his Cub Scout troop. I’ve done plenty of retreats in cabins but I never “roughed it” in a tent. It was great. Here’s some photos I took of our trip.

All packed up!

10 person tent for 2. Go big or go home.

Movie night

Cabrillo Aquarium

Tidepools

My beautiful boy

Now that we have most of what we need like a proper tent and sleeping pads I feel confident about taking the family out for some more adventures. I can’t wait to be a “camping dad”. Let me know about cool areas to camp out at in California! I still feel like we need facilities and running water but eventually I want to go completely off the map. Thanks for reading this!
