Dama and the Redwoods Part 2

Day 3: The Redwoods

Day 3 was the day Mom had scheduled for the most experiences and fewest hours of driving. I think we still were in the car about 7-8 hours. The day started with a detour to the coast to see one of many "glass beaches." It may look similar to north Oregon beaches in the photos, but the sand was SO different!

Next, we drove to the Chandelier Tree and spent some time doing photos and exploring.

Mom's van wouldn't fit through with the luggage on top!

We continued up the coast to the Oregon border, taking time to stop to "hug a tree" and see Avenue of the Giants. By evening, conversations were happening like this:
"Hey Toe! Look at THAT giant tree!"
"Mom, they're all giant trees."

Day 4: We're On Our Way Home
The last day, we visited a National Park visitor center and drove straight home. It was a long four days but so worth it. We all were pretty exhausted by the time we reached our beach. My sister's family was able to stay a few more days and we took advantage of the time to enjoy time together, having bonfires and family time.
