Julian, Ca

Last weekend we drove up to Julian to camp with Doug and Letty. It was a huge campground called KQ Ranch. It was one of those time share places and we got to go for free if we attended a sales presentation. Of course within 5 minutes Todd tells the guy he was 100% confident we were not going to buy and they were actually really nice. Said they didn't want to waste our time and we didn't have to finish the presentation. Not bad...15 minutes for a free weekend!

The first night was SCARY - there was a 3.9 earthquake nearby and it scared the 'you know what' out of us! And it was WINDY all night so every time the trailer shook we woke up thinking it was another earthquake. The wind died down a little though once the sun came up.

Anyways since it was a "full hook up" type place there was lots to do. First we went exploring.

There was an older playground for the kids. We had fun too though, Letty and I played a game of tetherball. I think my arms are still sore today!

When we got back the horses were out eating. So I went and got some apples and the kids fed them.
