Our first stop on our way down the west coast was Portland, OR. We drove into the city and had lunch at the Rogue Brewery. The beer was good and the food filling. What else good I say about Oregon? Not much.

| oh and we drove through a tree! |
Not too long after crossing the California border we saw the Redwoods. WOW! Those are big trees. We pulled over and did some hiking among the monsters. It was a great hike. Quiet and peaceful. The forest looks a lot like the Forest Moon of Endor. We kept waiting for an Ewok to cross the path! We also discovered that Big Foot is often seen wondering through this part of the US so once the sun went down we took some scenic drives through the forest in search of the big guy. The only luck we had was the 10 foot statues of the creature you could buy at the local mom and pop gift store. Oh well!On our drive we also stopped on the coast to watch the sun set over the Pacific ocean. It was a little cloudy but still beautiful.
The next morning we left Eureka, CA and made our way to San Francisco. It took FOREVER! Small towns, road work, slow and stupid drivers. You name it. We came in over the Golden Gate bridge and headed straight for Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39. We walked the Pier, had lunch and did a little shopping. Well as much as Daniel could handle. The city was crowded but at least it was a nice day. Sunny and warm for San Fran. I love it there! Before we left we hit up Ghirardelli Square. YUM!
The rest of the evening was spent at Ryan and Kendra's house in Napa. It was good to see them and Ducky, the lab again. Wish we could have visited more but gotta get back on the road in the morning. Thanks Ryan and Kendra for a great time!
