Camping in California

Ali had auditions for this year's dance team, so we had to leave a little later than originally planned. The drive wasn't too bad, and we made it to our campsite by midnight.

The first day was spent exploring Crescent City and checking it out; seeing what was around there. {Turns out: not much.}

The next day we drove to the Trees of Mystery. We put Lucy on her leash {dogs are allowed!} and walked through the park looking at all of the strange - and huge! - trees. We took a gondola ride up to the top, but it was very foggy up there... we couldn't see much. The girls loved the ride, though, and kept asking to go on it again.

 Nice face, Mer.

Night time was for campfires and s'mores.

Another day we went to the Jedediah Smith Redwoods Park to play in the river. It was beautiful! The girls couldn't wait to get into the river... and once they got used to the *cold*, they had a ball. :)

And, of course, we needed to find a giant Redwood that we could drive through...

This was such a great trip. I love camping with my family! Trav is already planning our trips for next summer...
