My husband Wayne and I decided to pull Polly down to Southern Cal for our yearly "Parties Are Us" for our son Kristopher's birthday. Every year since his sophomore year at Biola University, we have loaded up the Sequoia with firewood, chairs, tables, lanterns, hot dogs, buns, condiments, bottles of water, chips, and s'more fixins for a Birthday Beach Bonfire in Huntington Beach.
This year we decided to try pulling Polly Pod down to Bolsa Chica and camp on the beach. If you have ever tried to camp at Bolsa Chica you know it is almost impossible to get a spot there. I was on reserve.com early six moths before at 8 am ready to reserve our spot. I logged in at exactly 8am and the spots were gone. I decided to try the cancellation email system that you can create. Nothing happened until one week before the departure date and the e-mail was in my box when my eyes opened and checked my email. I jumped on the opportunity and the plans were underway.
Bolsa Chica is a beautiful beach and the bike trail that stretches for 7 miles is absolutely fabulous. We threw our bikes in the back with all the Beach Bonfire supplies and headed down. We took the 405 S down to Seal Beach. Along the way, we saw only one RV/Trailer. There was nasty traffic, impatient drivers but then we arrived to the beach. The campground is a glorified parking lot, but come on- we were camping on the beach.
We were blessed to be able to spend time with our "birthday boy" and escort him from his teen years to his young adult years. He is such a blessing and his friends were so thankful for the evening that we provided for them.
