Muir Forest

Yesterday was a long day of travelling. I got up at 3:45AM and had to catch my plate at 6. It was a long and exhausting morning, but finnally we got to San Francisco and the Golden Gate! On our way to St. Helena (where we're staying), we went to Muir Woods; home of the world's tallest trees; the Redwood. Some of those trees were thousands of years old; quite a lifetime. But was even more fascinating was that there were once 2,000,ooo acres of Redwood forests, but now there are only 150,000. Interesting..

We checked into our hotel; a very homey-cheery little place. There are grapevines surrounding the resort. They've even got a swimming pool and a small little hot tub. Later, we got together with the rest of the family, and had dinner at the Calistoga Inn. I had Pasta Avocado, which was pretty garlicy. But, it was a nice place.

It was 12:00 our time once we turned in. Now, we're going to a kid-friendly vineyard with a couple of my wild cousins. See Yah!
