We've had a rough 18 hours. With everything that happened yesterday, more has piled on. Our back breaks are bad, something is dragging in the camper wheel, our camper lights stopped working (mysteriously, after 4000 miles) and we arrived at the campground at 2 am only to find the gates locked until 6am. Every single Hyatt hotel within a 90 mile radius was booked... and then when we learned that a Hampton Inn an hour and a half away was going to be $299 a night, we did what any normal family would do and we drove to a gas station and slept in the van. I cried most of the night. The place we parked was safe, there was security and they knew we were there... it was well lit and had clean bathrooms... But I just felt so defeated. Rather seeing it as a funny adventure, I felt like I let my family down. I missed my dogs last night more than I've ever missed them. I was sure I wouldn't sleep a wink. Before I knew it though we were waking up and it was 7:30am! Woohoo! Time to get coffee and onward! After being misdirected by the bitchy gps woman we finally found our space. It is lovely. We are camping in a Eucalyptus grove within a park outside of San Francisco. The sky is beautiful, the smell of the air is cleansing and after a nap I think we are going to be ok.
