Our Trip to the Redwoods and Redding!

I wanted to see the Redwoods so we planned a trip and went to the Avenue of the Giants in Northern CA. That was so neat to see such huge ancient trees and to learn the history of the area. Carson kept saying, "Big Trees". The Avenue of the Giants is about 31-miles of many stops and sights to see-we saved the drive-thru tree for last-the kids really liked that! So-we spent a day looking at trees and then drove back up the coast and walked around Eureka a bit and ate dinner. We had to see the Carson Mansion-Holly really liked the Mansion. Then we drove to Redding and went to the Waterworks Park there. The kids had so much fun and since Holly was tall enough she even went on the bigger slides. We went on the roaring rapids slide-Carson didnt' like that! They enjoyed the kiddy park area the best. And since we were in Redding (the closest In-N-Out to us)-we had to go there and pig out before driving home! We had lots of fun-only 2 1/2 days, but that was enough-the kids were so tired and Carson got car sick on the way to the Redwoods and to Redding-yuck!
