Inside My Mind

Heaven on Earth

It is the only way to describe all that we are seeing and experiencing. The Big Tree, appropriately named as we could not see the top of the tree from the bottom. It may be the biggest tree I have ever seen. It was HUGE. So large that Paul took a video of the tree since a picture would not have done it justice. Facebook is where you can find the pictures.

We went to Eureka but it was not all that is was hyped to be. That's okay though. I still had fun. We even found a very nice and clean laundromat to do a couple of loads so that we would have clean clothes for the rest of the trip. The Samoa Cookhouse was what it was supposed to be. The food was very good except for cream of cabbage soup. I am allergic to cabbage and the smell of the soup was getting to me when we left. Who heard of cream of cabbage soup anyway?

Today was a totally wandering carefree day. We walked on the beach, drove to different places, sat at the only Starbucks we have seen since we got to California. That is really weird since there seems to be an espresso stand on every corner in Hillsboro. Paul and I tried the count the number of Starbucks within three minutes of the house and we lost count. We sat out in the wind and cold and read and relaxed in the sun. Yes, the sun has been out all week long. The weather has been beautiful tomorrow.

No plans for tomorrow yet. We leave on Saturday and will be taking an out of the way trip to the Bigfoot Museum. I can't wait. Once again, I thank God for all He has created. We live in a beautiful world and it easy to forget with the day in and day out of life. I really need to do this vacation thing more often.

Love to all.
