Trip to California: Redwood Forest

On our way down to see my family in California, we took the scenic route to see the trees of mystery; the Redwoods.

Maren's face expresses her excitement not only for the beach but for the chance to get out of the car.



We stayed the night about 2 hours from the forest so we drove through it in the morning when the fog that looms over the trees was battling with the sun rays forcing their way in. It was a beautiful time of day.



More excitement to be out of the car. We made multiple stops. I don't have a picture of her getting back in the car but you can imagine it would be quite the opposite of the sheer joy you see above.

One giant tree trunk. This was not some tourist stop of some famous tree, it was just on the side of the road where we got out and explore a bit.



I just loved this adorable forest! I say adorable because it looked so picture perfect like it would look in a Disney movie. The picture just doesn't do it justice. It was beautiful.



I tried to capture the amazing twisted bark and the tree juts into the sky.

We stopped at a little tree house that was contained inside one hollowed out tree.

Now this was scary. Our car barely fit without scraping. I had to get out to help Spencer through. You can see paint scraped inside the tree from other cars.
