Northern California: July 19-20, 2010

Andy was the only one of the 4 of us who had seen the big trees before. It was really important to him that during our trip we drive through a tree. He wanted us to experience first hand the size of the trees.

We had to see, if not touch the ocean. We arrived in the evening.  The kids were so happy to be running on the beach. They played the game where you chase the waves out and run back on shore as they come back in again. Any guesses how this game ends?

We drove to a different beach the next day and happened upon a surf school. The students were participating in a 3-man wheel barrow race while we were there.
