Miles 5066-5163: Best Western Hotel in Eureka and Redwoods State and National Parks

We woke up in the morning and Dad wasn’t feeling great, so we decided to hang out at the hotel in the morning and go to Redwoods in the afternoon. After eating breakfast, Jackson went to the pool with Dad and Mom went to the fitness room. I stayed back in the room and worked on some stretching for dance. After a while, I went to the pool with Jackson. After lunch, we drove to Redwoods and did the Cathedral Creek Trail. The redwood trees were pretty huge, but nothing compared to Big Tree, the destination of our hike. Big Tree was huge, over 256 feet tall and 1500 years old. It was really cool being back in the woods with no one else in sight. It looked like Endor, and Endor was filmed in Redwoods. After finishing our hike, we saw some elk in a field and drove back to the hotel. After dinner from a hot bar at a grocery store, Jackson and I went to the pool again and played some pool again. I won as usual, and then Dad beat Jackson as well. After brushing our teeth, we went to bed. Check out my dad’s Instagram for pictures from Redwoods because I didn’t have anything to take them with.
