those marvelous redwoods

post by leslie

So many things happened in the month of May that I didn't really update you guys on because, well, the dogs! But the main thing was that we took a family vacation to California to see Jamie's brother. And during that visit, Ezra got to have his first sleep over with his aunt and uncle (and cousins) and Jamie and I had our first weekend alone. We opted to just spend it in San Francisco, but instead of staying in the city, we stayed in the Presidio (truly magical) and spent most of our time hiking in area woods instead of the city.We finally made it to Muir Woods, just north of San Francsico, and these photos are from there. I don't really feel like photos of Redwood forests can possibly do justice to the majestic nature of these trees (not to mention the glorious smell), but here are my attempts regardless.
