Day Ten

Our time in Seattle had to come to an end, even though we didn't want to leave :( We said goodbye to Meg's friends and headed South, our direction for the remainder of the trip.

We had planned stops in Portland and then wanted to head straight to Tahoe. We had heard about the food trucks in Portland and the worlds largest biggest book store (Caitlin and I were ecstatic, Meg could care less). We drove about 3 hours through Washington and got to Portland around lunchtime. The food trucks were really cool, but this Bookstore! OMG. Each room was color coded according to genre. They have every book ever made and more. They also had a rare book room with books that were priced at $20,000+. We bought like three of those and then called it a day ;) But seriously, we could've spent all day there. 

After discussing our options, we decided we wanted to make a not-so-convenient pit stop to the Redwood Forest. It was about 7 hours south, and then it would be another 7 to Tahoe. This is a roadtrip and we were obviously prepared to drive. To the Redwood Forest we went. 

Oregon driving was pretty lame (sorry) and we were super tired and excited to get to the redwoods. We stopped in Eugene for a quick second so we could go to Voo Doo doughnuts which were amazeballs! As we started getting closer, the trees got bigger and bigger and finally we had arrived.

Driving through the redwoods was like being in a movie. Those trees were fricking huge. We loved it and were so happy we decided to adventure there. There may or may not have been tears.

That night was an all night trek to Tahoe where we would lay on the beach all day, life is good!
