Hello happy Thursday from our crappy hotel!

I'll tell you more about that later though.  

Cracking up about the wifi here when I went to connect my laptop.

I'm way behind on posting about my vacation I'm still on. Today Dolores joined us on my eye. I said she's Aunt Flo's friend. Since Aunt Flo couldn't come she sent her. Who doesn't love a stye on your eye while you're on vacation?

Ok back to SUNDAY! 

We left our hotel and went across the freeway and over to Pepper's. It took awhile to get our food but the waitress was so nice and friendly. Big tip for you! Hardly ever get that now a days.

Got the trusty old pancake sandwich. I always put the eggs in between the pancakes.

and some fruit we both ate

Then we got gas and some more ice (these little ice chests don't keep ice for long)

Driving up the coast is so beautiful. 

We were going to check out a little hiking area off the main road but then we saw a bear and decided we weren't equipped to meet a bear on the trail lol. 

These gold bears were on a bridge while we were still in CA. Those are more our level of bears ;)

We made it to the Trees of Mystery. My one "to do" that I really wanted on the trip. I went here with my grandparents when I was a kid. 

The biggest blue balls you ever did see ;)

This whole area is just so beautiful. I'd love to live around here. 

We talked each other out of going on the walking bridge thing lol

We did however take the gondola thing up to the top.

Then at the top you see how it works and you're like damn we could have died haha.

and then we did something a little stupid and walked back down.

aww aren't we cute! Here we are at the start of the hike haha

HUGE plants

see any 4 leaf clovers?

cheese with the plants that are taller than me

Hmm why is it going up hill instead of all down hill?

After going up and down Scott started to need a lot of breaks. I'm like hope you don't croak back here there's no cell service...

When we finally made it to the bottom lol

Then we had bench breaks every few feet until we were done with the park.

You can see how tired he was here. We were both a little sore for 2 days after haha. Mostly the tops of my thighs. I'm glad I had been walking I would have died if I hadn't.

this is so crazy to think about with the time lines on the tree

and then we sat in the car for a bit and went on our way!

Good morning happy Monday from our vacation!

I started this yesterday morning but never finished it.

Here's my first photos I took going over the Richmond bridge. We don't go over this one very often. I used to when I would go see my friend who lived in Sausalito. 

Teasing my friend that we got McDonalds. She is always like I'm so disappointed in your food choices haha. Just used the potty!

One step up from McD's lol Ohana Hawaiian BBQ

We saw a sign for a drive thru tree so we went to see it. 

If our car was much bigger I don't think it would have made it through

Back on the road

Our first night was in Arcata at the Wyndham Ramada. Why do these hotels always look less dated online haha. 

First thing to do would have been to remove the blue carpet so it would seem 20 years or more newer ;)

This place was right next door so we could walk to it.

Worst chips I've ever had. I ate about 4 and if you know me that's saying a lot lol. 

The pomegranate margarita though. 10 out of 10. 

I got the fajita quesadilla. I should have just rolled it up like a burrito to start with.

Good but messy

I woke up at about 1 am hearing and kept hearing a weird tapping noise. I opened the drapes and then could hear full on Mexican music. Turned the AC on and that took care of that haha.

The weather yesterday morning! Yes please!
