The Tallest Trees In The World - Eureka, CA (Part 1)

 The Lopezjones' and UncleBrad took a roadtrip up north to see some really really big trees, California redwoods, the tallest trees in the world.

 But first, drive your car through a tree.

This was the first time for everyone to have driven through a tree.

 

Second stop was Founder's Grove.  There were some really big trees there that were hard to capture in a picture, but imagine how big it would be by looking at the roots from this picture.

 Temperatures were really cold in the shade, but it was really spectacular to see these old grove trees.

 These trees were TALL!

 Finally the group arrives in Eureka and checks into their hotel.  To the twins' excitement there was a heated pool.  After a swim, in the middle of winter, it was a late dinner at a local brewery and off to bed for more big trees and hiking the next day.

 The weather warmed up near the ocean where a stop was required to consult the national parks visitor center for information on hikes.

But first, family picture!
