The goal is home today and everyone is anxious to get there. We've had a great trip, but we miss our husbands/dads and our own beds.
The Redwood visitor center opens at 9 and we need to go by there before heading out of the park (it was already closed when we arrived last night). The drive along the coast, through the rest of the Redwood forest was beautiful.
Crescent City, CA Starbucks stop.
More wonderful trees and the beautiful Smith river as we make our way out of the state of California.

The kids are getting bored in the car...

State #11
Oregon just brings lunch and bathroom stops. We are in a hurry to get home by then and the kids are getting sleepy and grumpy.
When we pass through Eugene I can't help but snap a pick for my Ducks.
Some things Cindi and I see in Oregon while the kids are plugged in:
-We pass through the 45th parallel
-The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile
-Portland rush hour traffic
Back to State #1
Hauling butt to get home was all we did through southern Washington.
A quick stop in Tumwater for a snack and a bathroom, and before you know it we are home!!!
