Day 10: Even further South

We enjoyed a delicious breakfast of HUGE pancakes and sausage this morning served at the KOA. We then loaded up and headed South - again =)! We didn't have to go as far since Brookings was our destination today. We wanted to surprise the girls and take them to the Prehistoric Gardens! Ready to go in!
Look at the size of that dinosaur!
Walking the trail!

They had a good time and Abigail said it was the best part of the day! They kept saying, "Oh yeah, we've seen ones like this in movies....." OH MY! But we also saw a couple live bunny rabbits as we toured the area and the girls were super excited by that! We started out reading all the history to them.......it was a little over kill!!

FOG......

Most of the drive was very foggy, so we couldn't see the sights we hoped for. But when we could see it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Harris Beach!
Girls watching the waves....
Brett and I.... (Norah took the picture)
Climbing a rock!
SCARY attack grey squirrels!

We were able to get a camp site at Harris Beach State Park! This campground is WONDERFUL! We have thoroughly enjoyed each place we've stayed, but I think this one is the BEST! The beach is beautiful, the camp ground is great - complete with laundry facilities and a great play ground and many trails that I would love to drag the girls down! We spent a relaxing afternoon on the beach, watching the waves crash onto the sand and the girls played! We were amazed at how similar this beach felt to being on a beach in Hawaii. A few more degrees of warmth would have been welcom, but all in all it was a wonderful afternoon! Tomorow we cross the border and enter CALIFORNIA!! REDwoods (as Abigail says) here we come!!
