I recently took a trip down to California's Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park with Antonia and her family. I have been to the Redwoods four times now and each time I am overwhelmed with a joyous feeling.

This year we had more time and I planned the trip much more meticulously to ensure we could make it around the island.
