Trip to Muir Woods


Here we are entering Muir Woods in Marin County. After driving the most steep and winding road ever we finally made it and nobody lost their breakfast! It was a lovely day. We were shaded by a canopy of Sequoia branches and the smell of Redwood hung thick in the air.







Tony and James made their way to this display shortly after we entered. Would you believe this tree was "born" in 990 A.D.?? How crazy is that? When you think of how long one of these massive trees can live it makes you realize how precious your time here is, we only get a meager 70 or so years. So, remember to enjoy it!











James and I pose for Tony in front of a little creek. Where can I find a house with land like this for a backyard??? How peaceful it was to be out here! We saw deer enjoying it too! But I had a feeling James was getting tired of being in his stroller!







Now I got Tony and James to pose for me! Look at my handsome men! Couldn't ask for a more gorgeous backdrop!










Finally James breaks loose, and there was no turning back! He probably walked a mile before getting back in his stroller for a snack! He loved the nature and the people he met along the trail!


We had such a fun day. Tony and I also found there are actual hikes along the trail that take you to ocean views. They were too steep to bring the stroller along so we will be making another trip here for sure!
