Muir Woods

We visited Muir Woods yesterday.  It's just north of San Francisco, about a 2 hour drive from Sacramento.  These coastal redwood trees are the tallest living things on the planet.  It was a crowded day, lots of people, but I can't get over how quiet the woods were.  It felt like a sacred place.  There was even a section called the "Cathedral Grove" that asked visitors to be quiet.  Of course, that's when my 6 year old decided to tease my 2 year old, resulting in ear-piercing screams.  Yep, we're "those" people.  Our verdict: It was worth the long drive in traffic to get to.  A must see if you ever visit San Fransisco.  We're a little nervous to go to "The City" with four children.  Maybe someday in the next 10 months we'll get brave.
