We live south of Portland and took our boys down to the redwoods for their first time last year. I hadn't been since my childhood. It was a fantastic trip. Since you're a reader, you may be interested in The Wild Trees by Richard Preston.

I long to go see the Redwoods! And I love to think of you talking to trees. When I visited California for the first time it felt both familiar and foreign. Some of the Spanish influence in the areas I was in reminded me of St Augustine in Florida near where I grew and so did the relaxed beach culture. But there were new parts like cliffs and mountainous islands and beaches combined, which was very different than the Florida coast.

Thanks for sharing my post!
