Big Red goes to see Something Big and Red

No matter how careful you are

Life happens

This was the start of our trip to the Red Wood Forest

poor tree - this isn't the first time it had been hit it appeared

lesson learned: Trees curve from where they planted

This wasn't the only mishap though

we also nocked a hole in the bathroom sink by leaving the leaky iron in it

and other silly things not worth mention

The thing is you will learn a lot on your first real trip in a camping trailer

Like puppy dogs will bark at any noise they hear

keeping the whole campgrounds awake at night and annoyed by day

Little boys will want to puddle hop every time they go outside

so bring LOTS of extra clothing

and no matter what - your camper will be thrashed

good thing we replaced the carpets already

in exchange from wood overlay

As you can see I was blessed to travel with the CUTEST camper ever!

His momma is a friend from work

and we all traveled from Portland to the Red Wood Forest Together

This little man and I were tight the whole trip

he even said

" I want Chelsea to be my new momma because she is pretty and has toys!"

what more can I say... he was the best part of the whole trip!!!

Well the trees were BIG

even bigger than Paul and Babe

I just love this picture

all the different expressions... priceless!

This place is called the Trees of Mystery

and you get to ride a gondola

and take in this beautiful view

Can you see the ocean?

I would highly recommend the Trees of Mystery

they have a great walking path and descriptions of all the different varieties of trees

I thought the trees would just be BIG

but oh no they are also weird!

Such as trees growing on top of trees... very strange indeed.

Here is an example of exactly that...

had you any clue?

the tree grouping here is called a cathedral

and marriage ceremonies take place under it a couple time each year

It would be very romantic.

When we had seen just about enough trees for one trip we all went to the beach

It was the puppies first time and they loved it

Unfortunately we didn't always stay together as a group

but my friend shared he amazing pictures with me

and they are just TO) CUTE for words!

I am so glad that we made this trip

I've been wanting to go since childhood

my only regret is that

we didn't drive through any trees

but we did see a

DINOSAURS

A rather nice fellow actually

ummm it's far to much work to fix and re position this photo...

but seriously I can NOT spell lately!!! Not that I ever could

but Honestly!!!! I have a problem!

Sadly and at the same time thankfully

all trips must come to an end

It will probably be the last Airstream trip until the spring

Big Red needs some love

(lets all cross our fingers the crunched up back pops out smoothly)

I'm sorry it took so long to finally share this trip with you

but as you can see there was much editing to be done

but it's nice to go back through the pictures

and relive in my mind the wonderful adventures we had

Have a wonderful Weekend Friends!
