The Redwood Giants!

Our drive up the coast went from ocean scenery to the Redwood Forrest



Driving picture

At times it would get so dense it was hard to see the daylight!

Yep!!! we drove throught the tree.

This was a redwood that had fallen over, you could crawl up inside the tree, (could be a spider in there though, David is not afraid of ANYTHING, however he hates spiders).

The trunk of the tree is nearly as large as the car.

I took this picture with my cell phone....not bad!

Standing under the trees...

Happy Birthday David! A Birthday visit to California

David was going to be working in California on his Birthday and I really didn't want to not be with him on his 47th birthday, I flew out to Ca on his birthday and spent a few days at his apartment and then we decided to pack a bag and drive the San Francisco for the night, we threw a bag in the car within 5 minutes of deciding to go and we were off! Here are a "few" of the photos that we took, I will be posting our trip in a few separte blogs since there were so many things to see and so many pictures, I am trying to put some of the better pics on the sight, too many to choose from. Enjoy!!

Coastal Scenery from Route 1 on the west coast

The two Old Crows trying to take a picture of themselves at sunrise on the beach. LOL!

As David and I drove up the coast we stayed in a little bed and breakfast that was in a little town south of Fort Bragg, just west of wine country, although David and I aren't wine drinkers this is a really beautiful country, I can see why they also call it Happy Cow country.

The cute Bed and Breakfast we stayed at just south of Fort Bragg.

The famous Lombard Street in San Francisco,CA

David and I ate dinner at Pier 39, there were sea lions outside the window of the restaurant!

Misc....

Here are a few random photos from Tucker's phone.

This summer Tessa took her first Strings class.
She is learning to play the Viola and she plays
Basketball. (She has given up Cheerleading for
basketball)

I love that she is branching out to try some

new things.

This past weekend Tess finished up winter league

metro Basketball. She finished up the day with

four baskets and 3 steals with some break-a-ways.

Tessa is a great player, she is very aggressive and

loves to play. She may be small, just don't

underestimate her!

Oh, here is one from Halloween, Enjoy~

Happy Birthday Tessa!

Happy Birthday to my baby girl. Tessa turned 11 years
old this weekend. For her birthday we had a few birthday
events. One we always do is go out to eat with the family,
grandparents and cousins etc. Tessa chose to go to Don Pablos,
one of our favorite places to eat. She then had a sleepover
with her friends. (9 girls plus Tess)
