Our West Coast Vacation!

We had so much fun on our trip. We went up the coast and spent the first night in Eureka. We went to the Samoa Cook House which was fun for the kids. It is an old logging place where they serve the food by bringing out big bowls of food and you get to serve yourself.

Then we went and saw the house Matt lived in until he was 5. We went on a little hike in the redwood Forrest. It was breath takingly beautiful and the kids didn't want to quit.

Then we went to the ocean and had a lot of fun there. We collected some cool black rocks and wrote our names in the sand. Poor Paige got wet and it was COLD!

After that we went up to Arcata and saw the town Matt lived in until he was 12. We drove his paper route and saw his elementary school and his home and lots of other cool places around there. It was so fun for him!

Then we went and saw Paul Bunyan. I remember seeing him when I was a little girl so that was fun for me! We got the kids some fun little souvenirs and took lots of fun photos!

Harry didn't like staying in the Hotels. He kept saying he wanted to go home and was very confused. Poor guy!

Then we finally made it to Travis and

Megan's house. The kids had so much fun together and all got along great! They played Transformers and had a yummy fondue party and stayed up late talking.

We also went and saw a bunch of beautiful sights. We hiked up to Beacon Rock and that was cold and windy but a very cool view. Went the a huge fish hatchery and the kids got to feed some HUGE fish. Then we went to see Mountmonth Falls which was SO cool.
