Coast Karate Camp

We're only a couple hours from our departure time for the Coast Karate Camp. Last year's camp was an amazing experience for both M and I (I was doing karate at the time, so participated in camp as well). This year, it's just going to be her at camp, and I will be nearby, but NOT CODDLING! Sensei was very precise about "no coddling at budo camp" last year. OOPS!

Camp begins at about 9am tomorrow, so M and I are heading out this evening after karate class to check into our condo/hotel and get a good night's sleep. By doing this, we alleviate the super early AM wake-up and departure in the morning. I still need to find out if breakfast is one of the included meals in camp and if not, we'll be hitting the store on our way out of town for a couple items. I also need to find out from him WHEN she will need her gi, b/c if it's only for the "closing ceremony" on Saturday, I'm going to drop it off at home for D to wash/dry and save me quarters at the condo laundry facility doing that.

SO - camp is all day tomorrow with a bonfire in the evening (or so I've heard). Then again all day Saturday with the "closing ceremony" Saturday dinner-ish.

We're staying out there through Sunday, though, which allows us to have a base camp all day Saturday as well, and also to have D come join us on Saturday and be with us on Father's Day morning.

I'm so looking forward to some peace and quiet at the coast for a few hours at least...

AND - crazy thing - here it is 2:30 and we're all packed and ready to walk out the door. That is so unlike me to be that ready to go! Class is at 4pm, so we'll be leaving in about an hour for that, then it's BK drive thru for dinner and off we go.

Hopefully I'll get around to taking/posting some pix when we get back...
