I love Thanksgiving and missing the food and family time was not an easy decision but instead of trekking to southern California to visit with loved ones, my favorite guy and I took a little trip to Humboldt County. We had no real agenda or plan and just went up with the intent to see a lot of trees. It was a much needed break from the particularly difficult time I've been having in the "real world" to give thanks for all that is good in my life. Sometimes a little getaway is exactly what you need to rejuvenate, reinvigorate and generally find some happiness and for me this worked wonders.
We stayed in Trinidad, hiked in Redwood National Park, ate in Arcata and played tourist in Eureka.

Our zippy car for the weekend. It looked so sharp in all the greenery. 22. Home again home again jiggity jig.
That Redrum picture is just a little creepy!
