Day 2: 360 miles from home

Description:
A shorter drive today, along the coast the whole way. We awoke in a thick fog and drove through what felt like middle-earth as a result.
As we rounded the corner towards Santa Barbara, however the fog lifted and suddenly we were clearly in Southern California! We had lunch on the beach in Santa Barbara, with the sun beating down but a cool breeze blowing, before heading about 20 miles back north to our campsite at El Capitan Beach State Park.
Perched on a hill overlooking a calm Pacific, while nestled in a little grove of trees, our campsite was pretty much perfect. The sun had warmed the air enough that we left the top down on the tent for the first part of the evening, watching the sunset over the ocean from within the tent itself.
We taught Roosevelt to play Go Fish, then settled in for a less-cold sleep.
