Big Basin Redwoods State Park

The day before we left California, we went to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. These trees are the biggest I've seen in my whole life! Redwoods can live 1,000 to 2,000 years! When Columbus landed in America, some Redwoods were already over 900 years old. Crazy! These pictures don't really do the size of the trees justice, but they're still fun...

The only way to the park was to drive on a VERY windy road for miles and miles and miles. Fortunately for me, I slept the whole way there. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep on the way back! Here I am stripped down after getting a little sick on myself! But I'm still smiling!!!

Fun at Half Moon Bay Beach, CA

Even though our time in California was short-lived, we did squeeze in a fantastic day at Half Moon Bay! Usually it can be quite cold at the beach, but we lucked out. The weather was beautiful!!!

Mommy's friend from high school, Aunt Rachel, joined us. (She lives in the coolest apartment in downtown San Francisco!) Aunt Rachel brought her camera and captured our perfect day at the beach!

Even Thunder loved the beach! Here he is taking a rest, but most of the time he was either running around in the sand or burying his nose in it!
