Fancy Camping

First of all, I’d like to say THANK YOU to my dear sister, Caroline for filling in for me while I was away!  And where was I, you may ask…well, I was fancy camping!  For my dear hubby’s birthday, I booked a weekend for us at El Capitan Canyon in Santa Barbara.  My husband loves to camp, and unfortunately, we haven’t done much of that lately.  Well that may be a bit of an understatement.  When we got married two and half years ago we got a bunch of camping gear as a wedding present, and well, we’ve never used it!  That is…until this weekend!  El Capitan is a “nature resort” that’s made up of little cabins and safari tents with beds in them!  Because it can be a big chilly this time of year in SoCal, we opted for the cabin, which had a bed, bathroom, wet bar, heater, and electricity!  It had two big glass doors that opened out onto a creek behind the cabin and a fire pit outside where we roasted hot dogs and made s’mores! While it wasn’t exactly “roughing it”, we experienced all the perks of camping without the sore back and lack of a shower (thus the term “Fancy Camping”).

It was an extremely relaxing weekend, and if you’re ever in the Santa Barbara area, I highly recommend a stay at El Capitan Canyon!
