| "If you could walk with anyone past, present, or future (alive or dead), who would it be and why?" Cora wrote "GRAMBOT" on her post-it note. |

| Our first stop was Fern Canyon, one of the most magical places I've ever visited. It has vertical, fern-covered walls, fallen trees everywhere, and a stream running throughout it's center. The kids were in heaven climbing the fallen trees, splashing through the stream, and hunting for newts and banana slugs. |
The kids kissed banana slugs (blurry pictures because they did it quickly, of course). If you never went to science camp in 6th grade on the California coast, the quick explanation is that kissing a banana slug is suppose to give you good luck. If you ever spot one, you should definitely pucker up! I made Jay do it back in 2006.

| PawPaw's truck worked hard on this adventure... winding mountain roads, construction zones, one-lane two-way traffic curvy dirt roads through national parks, and water hazards. (Not to mention kid detritus within...) We were quite spoiled to be chauffeured around on our stay - thank you Dad! |
