Swaylocks

I have a few favorite nights every year, including:

• The night my family listens to old Christmas music and decorates the tree
• The night of my family's End of the Summer Party
• That night in spring where I can feel summer is on its way

But I only have two favorite annual weekends:

• New Year's in Mexico
• Swaylocks in Big Sur

And that second one is coming up in just a few weeks.

What is Swaylocks, you may ask? Well, it's when all of the Mexicrew piles into trucks and vans with all of their surfboards and camping gear and comes together for a few days at the Los Padres National Forest Campsite in Big Sur every year. Half the group surfs, half the group goofs. I, of course, am in the latter army. It's just lounging and laughing for four or five days in one of the prettiest spots in America. To give you a better idea of the scene, here's some pictures.
