Vacation

Devin and I were more than ready to vacate this place after the busy past few months we have had. We went down to California to see the Redwoods and then to Crater Lake. It was fun, but a lot of driving. Nola did really well considering but she got pretty sick of being in her car seat. It was well worth a sometimes cranky little girl. We had a good short little vacation and it was nice to get a way for a little while.

The Local light house.
Crescent City is tucked right in the middle of the redwood forest.
So we stayed here the first night. Beautiful little coast town.

California Elk.
Do you know whom I am married to? Of course we had to take pictures of these boys. Not too much farther down the road were the cows. We knew the babies had to be close, but those momma's hide their babies well.
Paul Bunyan and his ox Blue
Just to give a little idea of just how big these monsters are.
Driving through the tree was pretty cool. We had to pay $5
because it is privately owned, but Devin said it was worth the five bucks.

I still cannot get over how blue the water is. It was gorgeous.
