California
































To top of our summer we continued south to Norther California. Our first stop was the Redwood Forest where we camped for a night....BEAUTIFUL! I am sure there are more adjectives I can use to describe this area.... majestic, ominous, ancient, enormous, I could go on, (but I wont) ha ha ...
The northern beaches are a wonder as well, I wonder why they have to be so damn cold!! I suppose beauty has its place no matter the climate...
We went to an Oakland A's game, on to SanFrancisco, then to Santa Cruz, Monterey area. Paige and Kaden will be living in that area now. It is also an attractive area, filled with pine trees, and beach.
We went to the Monterey Bay Acquarium and really enjoyed the wonders of the ocean through this fabulous arrangement of sea creatures etc.
We camped in northern Santa Cruz near the light house at a KOA called Castanoa. Honestly not my favorite KOA, usually they are quite equipped with things to do and great showers etc....like the Hyatt of camping. This was a bit more likened to being in the great out doors with all the stinky smells of sewer next to our camp, and no shade trees, one shower...may I repeat...one shower! But on a higher note, the beach was only a half mile walk and it was beautiful!
