This weekend we drove just over eight hours to a little town in Northern California, just north of Eureka called Trinidad, to attend my junior high & high school best friend's wedding. What a treat it was to not only attend Joelle's special day and visit with her & her family, but also to see a part of California neither Bill nor I have ever seen.
We took our time on our drive up, stopping several times to check out the sights. At one stop, we got to see a redwood tree that you could drive your car through. We didn't drive Pretty Pearl through, as you can see it was quite a tight fit for many of the cars daring the drive:
Behind the gift shop (that was crammed with people buying cheap souvenirs), was a beautiful pond teaming with all manners of life, and save for Bill and I, no other humans.
The pond had dragonflies
and frogs
The weather was warm, the cicadas were buzzing, frogs were ribbet-ing, it was a lovely little spot, surrounded by a redwood forrest.
We are so glad we pulled off the road for the sights!
