Redwoods

Birthday Getaway

Jason had Tuesday off for Veterans Day so we decided to make a long weekend out of it and take off Monday too. We headed up north to the Redwoods. We ended up in Humboldt National Park and camped amongst some huge trees. Here's some highlights of our trip.

Drive thru tree

Veterans Day Parade in Petaluma-Jason loves this picture :)

As authentic as a tree house gets...and Jason on the second floor

Another drive-thru tree



Jason fixing his bike tire so we could do some mtn biking...or should I say flat road biking :) and that was because of me. Jason is so patient with me. My biking skills arent what they used to be :)




Yes those are some ginormous roots. I took a hike to see where the tree ended, it was longer than I thought.

We saw some really awesome Fall leaves.

Our campsite

We enjoyed some awesome tin foil dinners, hot chocolate, s'mores, light rain at night, learning how to put up our new tent (wedding present from Ted & Stacy) in the dark, and Jason making sure our bikes didnt get stolen. Before we went to sleep the last night we thought we heard someone in the truck...of course that's all it takes and then every noise is a bike thief, right? Later in the night, Jason woke up with a loud Whoa!!!! to scare off our burglars and nearly scared me to death. Come to find those noises were probably our neighbors :) How much different things seem in the light :)

Jason driving through the drive-thru tree...slowly

Just inside another tree...doing some exercises, or something

Beautiful scenery and great photography...for not stopping.

This concludes our tour of the Redwoods
