We finished up our stay in the Redwoods National and State Parks with one last hike along the Cathedral Trees Trail. 


Along this hike, we not only saw more big trees…


 We also saw the biggest tree of them all. 


We circled back to the RV on the Trillium Falls Trail. 


With more trees… 


And a waterfall. 


A cute sign that made us giggle and look for bears. 


And family! 


We drove down the Pacific Coast Highway before camping for the evening.


The sunset was amazing. 


The next morning, we continued along the PC Highway and stopped occasionally to enjoy the view. Seeing these views, I quickly joined Team Pacific and was ready to move here! 


One last picture of my family. 


And one last picture of The Rig at our last campsite surrounded by big trees. 


It is hard to believe how quickly two weeks passed. I enjoyed having time to spend together without feeling rushed or distracted. This vacation provided quality time to laugh, talk, and enjoy each other’s company. I will cherish so many memories. One of my favorite memories which, I have no picture to document, was stargazing. We would stretch out on a log or picnic table and watch the millions of stars in the night sky. Being away from city lights made the stars bright and mesmerizing. It was always a bonus to see a shooting star or satellite. 

I’m truly appreciative of my brother for organizing and plan this adventure. Also, I’m thankful everyone was willing to come together and share the experience. 

On Friday, 7/21, my mom and I were dropped off at the San Francisco Airport. After returning The Rig, George, Juliana, and Fiona had planned to spend a few days in San Francisco. My mom was flying home and I would be meeting up with my VB friends for the remaining portion of the vacation. Can you believe I saw even more of Northern California and more friends! I am a lucky girl.
