Redwoods!


We saw some more redwoods, and now were in Nevada, heading to Utah.

CC log 7316

The past few days not much has happened. Except on the first we saw the redwoods which was spectacular.
Other than that we left the campsite and arrived in Reno. The air smelled odd there. Like expired hazelnut-chocolate coffee. That is really it.

Refreshed!

As we left California, we were leaving 6 nights in a row of camping.  Two of those nights we slept in the van.  While I am 100% positive CA is gorgeous under normal circumstances, the drought has made it super gritty and kind of all around dirty.  So, as you can imagine, camping left everything with a coat of fine dust on it.  We spent last night at a Hyatt Place in Reno, NV and we're all clean now! Showers... long showers... shampoo, swimming in the pool, the hot tub and clean bedding!  After we were clean and dried,  we watched Back to the Future together while eating authentic Mexican food (now my favorite food!)  We slept in and are now trekking through Nevada on our way to spend 2 nights at thr Hyatt in Salt Lake City.  Our landscape will not change once during this 7 hour drive so we are all using this time to read and write.  I love our family!

Relaxed

Even though we've learned some tough lessons in mediating arguments between our kids and others'  (we totally screwed Milo out of a fair trial today... completely threw the poor kid under the bus!) We have been able to relax and relax and relax the last few days here in Crescent City, California.
