  • Hello, California – magical days in the Redwoods

    How can I even begin to describe our time in Northern California? It was truly magical. Visiting the Redwoods has been on my wish list for years. Back in 2019 we almost went during our road trip but ended up choosing Yosemite and Sequoia instead. We made it this time and it was everything I…
