Redwood & North Cascades National Parks

We've been in Spokane for nearly two weeks now and I am just starting to feel like a human again.  Our time on the road has been incredibly fun, but incredibly tiring too!

On our journey to Spokane, we had the opportunity to check off a few more national parks.

In California, we spent two night camping at Redwood National Park -- what a beautiful place!  The contrasts between the old growth forests and the rugged coastline all in one place was awesome!

Smith River at Jedediah Smith State Park in the Redwoods - such an amazing color!

At North Cascades National Park we didn't get to stay there, but got to do a beautiful hike at Ross Lake.  Gorgeous!

Of course, our road trips always include seeing a few friends in-between!

Jamie is the first person from our Peace Corps Tonga group to be pregnant! Go Jamie!

And, a very sweet/fun co-worker from my unum/cigna days in Los Angeles, who now lives in beautiful Anacortes, WA!
