Santa Margarita KOA (by Caleb)

-

After a long boring drive of sleepy dreams and dreamy sleeps, we arrived at Santa Margarita KOA. The KOA was a tight campground with a lot of hills. It had a jump pad, a volleyball court and wild turkeys! There was also a pen in the campground with an emu named Kevin!

After we arrived Asher Jordan and I went to play on the jump pad then we had dinner and went to bed.

The next day we played on the jump pad a lot and relaxed.

Two days later we got our Jeep and went to the county park that was right next door to the campground. At the park we went on a three mile trail along side the lake. The trail was to an overlook and went up most of the way. During the hike we saw a bald eagle up in the sky. We eventually did the trail and saw the overlook which was mostly blocked by trees.

After the trail, we took the Jeep on a 4x4 road where we rode along the lake and away from the main road. We drove on the dirt road for awhile and looped back around and drove home.

The next day we had school, and then that evening we played on the jump pad and I started a beanbag fight. It was really fun and one kid was the 'sniper' and did long range throws at everyone. If you were hit, you had to stay in that spot for fifteen seconds.

Later in our stay mom, Asher, Jordan, and I went to the county park again and went to an area down by the water where we saw a bald eagle and mom read a read-aloud.

That Friday we went to a movie theater and watched the movie "Sonic the Hedgehog 2". After that we went to Costco.

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...
