One last escape...

One last great escape. As many of you know I don't like to keep my feet on the ground for very long :-) But now that I'm nearing the final strech of this pregnency it starts to get hard to be "stuck" at home. It's shocking to realize that I have less than 4 wks until this baby is born (much less than that if she follows in Micah's footsteps). So last weekend we decided to take one last trip away from home & the hospital. We went over & spent the night in Eureka. It was beautiful! The weather was georgous & we had the chance to explore & enjoy the "big city" (which really isn't that big for most of you).

On Saturday, after we had finished our shopping (this is usually a ritual whereever we go because of our remote location) we decided to head south on 101 & explore the Redwoods. We took a beautiful 31 mile drive through Humboldt Redwoods State Park. It had been over 9 years since we were last in the Redwoods & we had never been south of Eureka....it was amazing. We really wanted to get out and hike, but we knew two things stood in our way...a sleeping 3 yr old in the back seat & a pregnent Mommy with the best of intentions who can only make it 100 ft. So we explored from the car & roadside stops. But it was enough to make us want to come back & camp...SOON!!

But until our little girl shows up & gets a little bigger I doubt there will be much camping...but we did have Micah camping by 2 1/2 months...so there is hope :-)

Me at 36 wks...the tree doesn't look quite as big with my big belly in front of it :-)


An angle you NEVER want anyone to take of you...but it was funny all the same :-)
