July 4th

There weren't any fireworks or parades for our 4th.  We decided to pack up the car and head to the mountains for a little camping adventure.  With two kids (one a newbie) and dog, I can say it was a true adventure.

On Highway 20 you will run into an area called Diablo.  There you find the base of the Diablo Dam and a small community supported through Seattle City Lights.  Just outside of the community there is a small campsite with about 8 spots.  Only 3 were in use, including us.  A perfect place to try camping as a family of four.

There were a couple "moments", but I have to say it was a success.  We even got a hike in to the top of the dam.  Amelia LOVED every moment of our adventure and we are excited to take her on some more.
