We spent a week on the California coast - traveling north to south although we turned around at San Luis Obispo. I had been originally planning to travel to Ventura and then turn around but we decided to cut our trip shorter so John could go to a get ready for middle school camp. Here are some pictures from our visit to the Redwoods area.
Skywalk at Trees of Mystery
Gondola ride at Trees of Mystery
Lots of banana slug sightings
Redwoods was beautiful and amazing!
We stopped at a roadside attraction, Confusion Hill, that is one of the inspirations for the Mystery Shack in the cartoon show Gravity Falls (one my kids like). It was fun to see.
About to enter the crazy shack
The shack built on a slope
A Bill Cipher (the villain character from the show). I don't know if I would recommend this place, since other people may not appreciate the kitsch, but we thought it was fun and had a great time. There was lots to see and also a little train ride where we learned about the history of logging in the area.
One of the favorite stops on our trip was Fort Bragg, CA. If it weren't so far away we would make it a regular vacation stop. We looked for sea glass on Glass Beach in Fort Bragg.
The sea glass is getting more sparse it seems

Fun Mexican restaurant for dinner in Fort Bragg. We also stopped at a local ice cream place in Fort Bragg.
Redwoods were awesome but Fort Bragg was a favorite!!
