Road Trip - The coast, Redwood camp

We drove and made it to the coast! The ocean was cold, but that salty air was so nice! We got to work right away building drift wood forts, and adding on to the first that had already been started. 

We added our names to the first with black charred sticks from the old fires. 

We drove along Highway 1, although it was slower, it was so pretty! 

Stop for lunch on a sea cliff, yes please. Then to our campsite! It was deep in a Redwood forest, and our site was tucked next to a river. It was the prettiest campsite I've ever seen. 

The river was mostly shallow and calm, and no one else at the campground seemed interested in it, so it felt very private.

The kids loved exploring and climbing and picking their new houses. This is Matix's new house. :)

The one on the right is Lullaby's new house, and on the left is Solace's.

Then we stared discovering these HUGE slugs! Ew.

Good night!

Good morning!

While Lullaby read her book in the hammock, and Solace slept in his tent, Paul took Matix and Hawk up the river on the paddle board. It was misty on the river, and they went about 2 miles. They saw fish in the water below them as they went along. 

When Solace woke up, he and Lullaby cuddled in the hammock and ate marshmallows while we waited for the others to come back. 

Later in the day, we all went to the river to jump from the log into the deep part of the river.
