Day3

We woke up on Monday and went for a run along the beach.  I LOVE running along the beach.  We saw three dead sea lions and collected more than 50 sea dollars, so I would say that it was a successful run:)

l-r: Kami, Maddie, Nolan and Shawn:

Then we all got ready and headed down the road to the Redwoods.

See the kids at the base of his boot?  Maddie is wearing a red sweatshirt:

We were so impressed with the girth and majesty of these trees!!:

A little gnome in the woods:

Then we went and rode the sky tram which went high up over all of the trees to the top of the mountain. That's part of my family in there:

Coming in at the top:

Then we couldn't get enough of these ginormous beautiful trees, so after a waitress told us of another great place to go, we took off!

We hugged more trees and found that our entire family of nine couldn't even reach all the way around many of them:

Our entire family could fit inside of others:

Abram and Nolan:

Pace and Abram:

When we went for dinner, we asked the waitress where the locals liked to go because sometimes you get better places to go than the tourists know about.  Sure enough, she told us about a great spot, which we headed for right after dinner:

When the mosquitoes started biting, we headed back to Crescent City and headed over to the lighthouse to watch the sun set:

beautiful.
