Redwood Re-Ignition

This will count as our 4th time driving across the country. All of which, including this one, are for great reasons. This time in particular is for a much needed month long sojourn to reignite our souls. At this time we live in Key West FL., a small island on the southern most tip of the Continental United States. Living on an island sounds very grandiose and at moments it truly is. The gift it has given me in our almost 2 years of being here has been the gift of refocusing as well as enormous growth personally and professionally. However, I wake up dreaming about my old home in the redwoods of Northern California and in a few weeks we will be there again.

When my husband and I take trips, each one takes on a character of its own. Last year we traversed the entire east coast and spent a month in Acadia National Park and Camden Maine. We camped out of our tent and took amazing hikes and paddle board adventures.

This one too will become its own entity and we are hoping for an adventure unlike any other.
We leave in less then a week and will begin our drive from Key West to the coast of Ventura CA. We will then drive north until we reach our old home in Humboldt County CA. Our friends are excited to see us and we are excited to see our old friend, the Pacific Ocean.
