Spring Break Vacation 2010

For our Spring Break Vacation in 2010 we stayed in Brookings, Oregon which is next to the California border. We stayed at the Best Western Beachfront Inn. The Redwood National Forest was just a 30 minute drive from our hotel, where we saw some of the largest trees in the world. Some that were over 20 feet in diameter and 324 feet tall. We also stopped at the Tree's of Mystery, where we were greeted by Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox. We rode on the Sky Trail that took us above the Giant Redwoods. We also got to drive right thru one of these Giant Redwoods. We took a scenic drive home and drove up the coast on highway 101. Making a few scenic stops including the largest Sea Cave in the world where a ton of sea lions and seals gather.

Kristie & Devin's Wedding August 14th 2009

Fun at Lagoon

We had a lot of fun the day after Jeffrey & Allyson's wedding by spending the day at Lagoon with the McGuire's. Above is the altimate new thrill ride called the "Wicked", which shoots you out of a tube and takes you straight up in the air and back down into a loop and a barrell roll. It's name is definitely fitting, it was "Wicked". This has to rank up there as one of the best rollercoasters.

You only get a little wet on the "Cliff Hanger" (picture to the left).
