This weekend we headed up to Memorial Park to check out the old growth redwood forest. As usual, we were the only family on the trails (although one hardy family with older children was actually camping out there for the weekend-kuodos to them!). We fairly flew along the path as it had two key attractions for our children: The Monkey was fascinated to discover the alphabet amongst the trees and the Puppy Dog was delighted by the banana slugs all over the trail. Slugs really are magical to eighteen-month old boys.
If you feel like venturing into the forest, it’s a great park. Just note the $6 day use fee and be warned that there is a distinct lack of parking near the trailheads!
