Last week was spring break for us and we were on a week-long RV trip along the coast of Northern California and inland in Southern Oregon. Despite cold temperatures and a couple of rainy days, we managed to see several beautiful places and even take a couple of small hikes in the majestic redwoods near Jedediah Smith State Park.

Headed west through greener-than-green rolling hills:
Fort Bragg:

Glass beach (this place was literally a dump in 1949. Now it is a state park filled with gorgeous pieces of sea glass):

My sea glass finds (I left them there- it is a misdemeanor to remove them from the beach!):

Surf's up in Crescent City:

Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City:

My little "Ewoks" at "Endor" (parts of the Ewok scenes in Star Wars were filmed near Jedediah Smith State Park):

The stunningly turquoise-green Smith River:

These trees don't look big in the photo until you compare them to the size of our RV!:

Hiking trail:

Eating healthy on our trip was relatively easy because we had an RV (thus a fridge and kitchen). We did, of course, indulge in too many sweets (it was vacation and Easter, after all)! We have been home for four days and I finally made it to the grocery store to restock today. Time to get back on track!

Speaking of healthy eating on-the-go, that is the topic of my latest article in Freeplay magazine. You can read the entire issue, including my article on page 14, here. <Link outdated, removed>
