While we were in Sonoma County, we thought we'd see some sights! I'd never been up close and personal with California redwoods before, and I can understand know why people talk with such awe about the experience. There is something enchanting about the trees being SO BIG. I had always imagined it being like seeing one big tree... but to be surrounded by trees so insanely wide and tall has a magic feeling that is hard to describe. Part of it is their width, big like elephants are big, but part is their height -- in some places, you can look up, and to see webs of branches so very far in the air is like a dream, almost disorienting. I'm so glad we went.
