We have a redwood in our front yard–a much newer model. LOL! They are wonderful, magnificent trees!

beautiful shot!
Sorry we weren’t able to hang too much, but it was good to see you. I hope you and Zelda & the boys had a good time. 🙂 We had a blast and will definitely be going to this campground again – maybe even this season. 🙂

No worries! We had a wonderful, relaxing two days in the redwoods, and the boys played nonstop. It was so peaceful there! Glad you enjoyed the campground. 🙂
