Everything is just a little bigger down here outside of Crescent City, CA! We had fun going to the “Trees of Mystery” (lunch out and a fudge snack didn’t hurt, either).
Everyone but Piper liked the new canopy walk. [There was no indication in her first half of life that she would develop a fear of heights or spiders.] We also took the gondola to an overview and did the mile walk back down
We also were able to explore the Newton B Drury Parkway scenic drive, and coax/threaten our children to go on another hike through the redwoods. The third hike we attempted was a complete mutiny, which just means Dwayne and I got to enjoy ourselves without them.
Like driving down 101, the Redwoods were more beautiful and majestic to us than the kids, who had a hard time looking up from their devices. Dwayne, in his wisdom, occasionally reminded me that we are doing this for us, not them. And the Mama-ism I always fall back to is “Well, I love it enough for all of us!”
