Home From the Road

Well, the roadtrip was an all-around success! We had a blast, we don't hate eachother/we're all still friends, we had a lot of great times, and even made it home safely! Of course there were a few roadblocks such as getting lost, minor disagreements, and a flat tire! (Givin' a shoutout to Perfection Tire in Idaho for being so good to us!) We made the most of what we had though. My most favorite part, other than getting to see the country with some of my best friends in the world, was seeing the redwood trees in the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park in California. It was unbelievable how gigantic they are! It's hard to believe something so big is actually living. It's like looking up at skyscrapers but instead of something manmade, it's something in nature that has been there for over 1000 years! Everything is green there. If it isn't covered in leaves, it's probably covered with moss. It was like walking through a wonderland! Other highlights, it was great to watch the scenery change. We saw plains, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers, the Pacific Ocean. Even styles of architecture changed depending on the location. And, of course, the people! People watching was one of my favorite activities. It never gets old because people are so unique and interesting to me! We stayed in a few hotels but it felt like we did a lot more camping. It's such a different feeling being a nomad, rolling up your home every morning and traveling on to the next place. I didn't mind it. I can't wait to get some photos on here from my trip! Soon...
