Our next destination was north on highway 101 through Mendicino wine country, partially on the California Coast, and the Redwoods. It was a beautiful diverse drive. We did stop at a tourist attraction of a house made out of one Redwood log which the girls thought was really cool. I think they wanted to bring it home for a playhouse. It was about the size of the RV, so not really an option to bring it home.
We arrived at Crescent City, CA and are staying at a beautiful RV Resort nestled amidst the Redwoods. It is beautiful and had a large playground about 15 paces from our site which is very popular with two little girls.
Our first day we went into the town and walked the pier to view the lighthouse. The tide was coming in, so we couldn't walk to the light house. It is on a small island that is accessible via walking path during low tide. We then went to an aquarium which was awesome. We really weren't expecting too much for such a small town, but were really impressed. They had a wonderful live demonstration on sea lions and seals, shark petting, a rare cow shark in their tank, a tide pool for touching starfish and other sea creatures, and several different shark species. Reagan wouldn't pet the shark, but Madison did. They also played with the starfish in the tide pool. We then went to lunch on the bay and watched the sea lions on the docks.
The girls spent the rest of the day, on the playground of course

Mark is getting quite creative with the fire building!
