A Visit to the Redwoods

Aaron and I had a few days off together, so we decided to roadtrip our way up north to visit Redwood National Park.  It was a wonderful two day journey, and we thoroughly enjoyed spending time together in such beautiful territory.  We stayed in Arcata, California and wandered through the national and state park system in the area.  I really don't have a favorite when it comes to Sequoias or Redwoods.  They're both such splendid trees, and walking among them is truly a majestic experience.  The giant trees are one of my favorite things about this state for sure!

So, we had a fantastic time.  We're just having a quiet night here in the city this evening.  Aaron will be bottling his first batch of beer, and I will be assisting him with that.  I believe tonight's batch is a pale ale.  Then we have a porter brewing in the closet, and he plans to make a wheat beer on Friday.  I think that will total fifteen gallons of beer when all is said and done.  Hmmmm... not sure what to think of this new hobby. He is currently wearing my apron and happily baking bottles in the kitchen as I type.

I work the next three nights, and then we have plans with friends on Sunday afternoon.  Fun times as always!
