Yesterday was a travel day and we are now in the Redwood Forest in Northern California. We spent the day hiking the trails and Jack now has a new word...Wow! He said it over and over all day - very funny since that is exactly what you think as you hike next to these Redwoods. They grow to 360' tall, the largest one (they fondly call "Big Tree" - that Jack & I are standing in front of in the picture) is 24' in diameter and they range from 600 to 2,000 years old. You realize both literally and figuratively how small we really are! Jack loves the backpack traveling...thanks for the backpack Carol!
We also had a lot of playground time at the campground. All in all, a great day.
Tomorrow is another travel day...we just don't know where yet! Thought I'd include a few shots of Captain & Number 1 in the front seats. Number 1 sets the tone & then goes to sleep. Then upon awaking, they have a drink together! Once we arrive, Number 1 becomes Captain and he gets a new sidekick to take over his spot.
John has actually agreed to go to the 7th game of the Flames series if it goes to that (hopefully we don't need it)...we figure we will likely be near San Jose on the 22nd. Last night was painful...even though we are in California, there was baseball on 2 different channels and no mention of the game. It was very frustrating getting real time updates from the Flames statistics page on the web! Go Flames!

YES, you can assume that "no news is bad news" this time...we lost 3-2 with less than 10 seconds left in the game!
Hi all,
Enjoying reliving our honeymoon trip to the Redwoods through your blog!
Today I called Mom and read her your news. She remembers us all traveling to the dunes and swimming in the lake too. She is feeling about the same and is getting out - did have a nice spa day and pedicure the other day...
WOW! Rather nice to have Jack appreciating such a great trip with that great new word! (it is better than another one he'll no doubt learn to say at the dinner table - YUCK!)
We're heading to Calgary this weekend and thanks for the use of your place - Dave's off skiing..
Love, Judy
