SWC trip #3
Left mom and dad's house, and moved the RV down to Doheny state beach in Dana Point. Mom rode with Jen, Violet, and Jamie.
Pretty bummed to see that they didn't have any hookups on the site. We made sure to dump the tanks and fill up on fresh water before we set up camp. It's annoying not to have electricity because we don't like to bother the neighbors by running the generator all the time.
We do have a great camp site though-- #52 Just one spot away from the sand. We will be here until Thursday morning.

Lori had a dream that she took a pregnancy test and that it was positive. Well, she took one this morning and it was positive... It looks like we will be having another baby sometime next year if all goes well. Yikes!!
Other than that it was a pretty busy day. Kyle and Alissa Circle came over for dinner and we had ribs and tri-tip. It's interesting trying to entertain people in the RV. Especially having Jen & Scott stay with us. There is just stuff everywhere, and we are all so crowded in. We love having them, but it just gets crazy sometimes. I guess it's like having a small glimpse into what it will be like to have multiple kids running around, and it's sort of appropriate considering the news we received today.
Tomorrow we will hopefully have some downtime and get to relax a little bit before we move to Del Mar for SWC (Spirit West Coast).

The Wills fam left today at around 10am. We dumped the tanks and prepared for a day of relaxing. We discovered that "Grandma Smith" wouldn't be coming down, so we set up camp on the beach and prepared to be burned to a crisp... which only took about an hour.
The rest of the day we cleaned up the RV which was sorely needed after a hectic few days hosting 4 extra people.
At around 7pm, we walked down to Denny's and had a nice quiet dinner and discussed the implications of having a newborn with a one year old running around.

Finally time to head down to Del Mar! We got to the grounds at around 2pm and checked into the exhibit hall. We discovered to our suprise that our location was amazing! Right at the entrance to the front door.
We were also pleasantly suprised to find full hookups and a site that was only a short walk to the exibit hall. We were pretty excited!
After getting the booth set up, Lori and I cleaned up and went out for a very late mother's day dinner. It was delicious...
Friday May 26th
The big day... After doing a couple last minute errands in the morning, we made final preparations with the booth, and people started flowing at around 1:30pm.
It was very encouraging to see the response. Because of our location, we got a ton of traffic from the front doors, and probably got 7-10 solid leads.
The day was a whirlwind. We really didn't get to see any bands except Hawk Nelson. Mom & Dad went to see David Crowder & Jeremy Camp while I manned the booth. I have a feeling it is going to be a long weekend. Luckily, all the computers are working well and I'm getting the chance to get some actual work done.
