We drove 21 hours to be by my cousin&#8217;s side for her husband&#8217;s memorial.  I&#8217;m so grateful that we were able to safely drive there for a quick visit.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We decided since we were only eight hours from the kids up in Colorado and Wyoming and the weather looked clear (then anyway) to make another quick trip up.  It was so nice to catch up again after only a month of traveling.  After about a week getting our kid-time filled, we booked it out of town (again) just in time (again) to mostly keep ahead of the deep chill spreading down and across the country bringing winter blizzard watches and dangerous temperatures and deadly wind chills.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally we have been strive to take our time to enjoy our travels more and only drive 2-3 hours a day at most, as you all know, but once again, we pretty much drove 2 days straight to get south to reasonable winter weather.  To make a long story short, uneventful for travel blog purposes, we jump to our 198th day of traveling and back to the Emerald Coast.  We, and you are all caught up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emerald Coast known for the beautiful blue, green coastal Gulf waters for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3907\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_5176-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.floridastateparks.org\/graytonbeach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Grayton Beach State Park<\/a> Christmas Eve.

The sun was eluminating the mist with the reflection of the autumn colors above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I got in the mud to see the perfect portrait and the reflection of the bridge was <a><\/a>beautiful. The light breeze with the low tide mildly splashing on the rocks in the bay mixed a perfect Autumn aroma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The marshmallow-like foam swirled atop the pond as if a creamy topping of a caramel hot chocolate with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yum. Taking it all in as one moment, the lazy autumn pace of the fog mimics the steam rising from the cup, it completes the snapshot of time and memory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery aligncenter has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-27 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1833\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8503-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/acadiahorses.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Acadia Horses<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1828\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8535-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"1826\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IMG_8189-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/acad\/planyourvisit\/eating.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Seal Cove Picnic Area<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\ud83c\udf41 Early Autumn Acadia NP Carriage Ride\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pBOO8YIdjIA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/acadiahorses.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AcadiaHorses.Com<\/a><\/strong> is where we booked a carriage ride.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fall colors don&#8217;t hit the coast of Maine until a little after New Hampshire or Vermont as the ocean tends to keep the area more temperate and the elevation isn&#8217;t as high.

the weekends in our in-law&#8217;s driveway and then stayed in the national parks on the weekdays.  We loved getting to visit with my daughter and her husband&#8217;s family for a few days at a time.  It worked out so well to visit, leave, visit leave for a few weeks overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Rainier was stunning and different from the Rocky Mountains which we know well after living in Denver, Colorado area for 14 years.  This mountain is actually a volcano and is solitary in the landscape, giving it quite the unique, stand-alone appearance starting from about sea level to 14,411&#8242; making it quite an impressive 14ner to behold from all around it. We thoroughly enjoyed the Paradise area much more than the much more busy Sunrise side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2857-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Olympic National Park was perfect temps for summer along the coastal rainforests and stunning beaches.

We were not able to see a lot of the must see stops along highway 101 as the coast was immersed in fog most of the southern shores.  Finally, as we kept heading north, it cleared up and we were able to start to understand just how amazing the Pacific Ocean dots the coastline with islands of boulders, trees, flowers and wildlife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_2144-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/week-3-full-time\/\">Week 3 Stays and Exploring<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Week-3-US-Map-Stays.mp4\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Two areas we visited this week have to be specifically mentioned in the Redwoods area. Firstly, there isn&#8217;t just one place to see the Redwoods.  As a matter of fact, there are multiple State Parks and National Park areas that have joined together to encompass a very large area in which to discover for yourself and see many of the tallest trees, the Redwoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/goodnighttrail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/IMG_1509-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, these areas where there are State Parks and National Parks that protect the Redwoods, are the vastly diverse coastal beaches too. We just loved the Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park for its abundant wildlife in the waters and coastline.

Of course, Sequoia National Park is a bucket list, although many may not know that there are two redwood bucket list places to visit.
