Redwoods and avenue of the Giants
Top 5 for the day:
1. waking up just as the sun was rising over the mountain behind us on our own private beach (well, ok, California’s beach, but we picked up some extra trash from the beach to pay our toll…) making a hot cup of coffee and finding the point on the beach where the very first ray of sun hit. Standing in the sun and watching the morning creep in along the surf and the beach.
2. Driving Ave of the Giants and hiking Founders Grove. The redwoods are so incredible. Alyssa’s first time walking through a tree trunk!
3. Little co op in Arcata was fabulous. Like the wedge with beer!
4. While sitting for a little free WiFi and a quick bite at Lost Coast Brewery in Eureka, CA, Alyssa looked up and saw a cop creeping by the front window in front of us with his gun drawn…soon he was running through the restaurant fast on the heals of some criminal…so yes, police gun drawn makes the top 5…it’s a first!
5. Camping down on the beach at Clam Beach which DP realized he had camped 8 years before!
