We just got back from a roadtrip up the coast through Washington and back. It was lots of fun.

We went in and out of tsunami evacation zones all the way up the coast and then on our way home it was volcano evacuation zones. I'll stick with earthquakes, which I hear we missed one while we were gone.
Seaside, OR
Oregon Dunes. So weird to see pine trees growing in the sand.

Hey Katy! Where exactly is that covered bridge near Eureka? I great up there and I don't ever remember seeing it.
Amber,
I think the town is called Arcata. Here's an article that talks about them: [url]http://www.magazineusa.com/us/states/show.aspx?state=ca&doc=67&dsc=California_Covered_Bridges[/url]
Kristen- No camping this trip. It was our first hotel roadtrip (We have camped or stayed with relatives in the past.) We stayed 6 of the 8 nights at Motel 6s, one night at a Super 8 and one night at a locally owned place. Some of them were very nice (even with a waterfront view), others were not so nice. One of the places there was actually dog poo in the corner. YUCK!
It was a huge help having my mom along as nanny. It was nice to outnumber the kids and have a sitter to stay in the car if the kids were napping when it was hiking time, or so we could go out on a date night.
Gorgeous Pictures Katy! Going up the coast is my favorite vacation!
