| Spring Break Roadtrip to Redwood National Park |
When we moved back to the USA in 2008, Holly and I promised ourselves that we would not stop traveling. While living in Europe, we utilized every school vacation to it's fullest and sometimes even kept the kids out of school for a few days to accomodate our family road trips. We decided that here in the America, we will do the same thing. We have decided to make the National Parks our major destinations and to explore interesting places as we travel between these National Treasures.
We had already made plans for Noah to return to Germany during this Spring Break and to attend school with his old classmates there. So for the first time, we took off on a road trip without our eldest child.

Holly and I fell in love with Redding, California. What a beautiful small city in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The drive along the Trinity River from Redding to the California Coast was gorgeous, but the road was definitely not strait. We stopped many times to enjoy the beautiful riverside scenery and let the kids have a break from the car to prevent car sickness and the ugliness that follows.
