Last weekend was spent in Santa Barbara, and we tested our hands at making a bonfire one of the nights. Although we did not necessarily hit all ten things listed below in our bonfire, we came close. Click on the image below to check out some pics of the fire. Here are the things we thought every camp fire should have:

10. A pyromaniac (even if only a closet pyromaniac)

9. Sand to cover glowing embers

8. Guitar

7. A new moon

6. Lightly decorated, self-made fire pit

5. Drift wood

4. Beach

3. Graham crackers, Hershey bars, and marshmallows

2. Good friends and/or family

1. A spark
