Vacation photos - finally!

Here are a few photos from our group family vacation to Redwood National Park in northern coastal California. After an eternal drive (18 hours - whew!) we made it to our campground and then headed out to see the ocean, and the big trees. The weather was damp and chilly with little sun for the weekend we were there, but everyone had plenty of fun.



The beach was fun, even on the grey day. My kids had never seen the ocean, and they were sufficiently impressed.

We made fun of the ubiquitous tsunami warning signs.


In the big, BIG trees.At the local zoo.
At the campground, excuse me, kampground. The mini golf was a big hit, and it kept the kids occupied for great lengths of time while the adults cooked, cleaned, etc.



Lastly, no camping trip is complete without a bevy of songs sung around a roaring campfire.
All in all, in spite of the long drive to and from, and an unfortunate trip to the instacare for a scalp laceration, it was a fun and very enjoyable trip. We are looking forward to our next family group vacation 2 years hence.
