The Redwoods

On our way to the Redwoods we thought we would quickly see the Golden Gate Bridge.  Unfortunately, we didn’t plan on it being the  gay pride parade day.  WOW, is all I can say.  An hour later, and after seeing many interesting and crazy (and naked) people, and a nice talk about the Family Proclamation we finally made it to the bridge.   That will be the most memorable trip to the Golden Gate Bridge I think I will ever have.

We stayed at an awesome little cabin that was literally in the  middle of the Redwoods.  We could walk down the road 1/2 mile to a trail head and be in the middle of these giant trees.    We enjoyed days of playing badminton, relaxing on the hammock, picking fresh herbs from the garden out our back door and evenings in the hot tub.  Basically we just loved being outside.

This tree trunk was amazing.   We all held hands around the tree and only got about 1/3 of the way around.

So glad you guys had a great trip - can't wait to see the rest of the posts.

Your kids are darling, and that Jacob is a cute one too! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Glad you liked the cabin. I was at your parents while you were in the redwoods & they were telling me about some crappy motel your family got stuck in once & were hoping that your cabin wasn't something similar.
