Redwoods Vacation 2018 - Day 1 & 2


Packing is a big feat for six people to go camping!  Getting ready for our family vacation - going to the Redwoods!


Driving through CA - so dry this time of year.


Nothing like holding the vomit bag until we find somewhere to dispose of it. LOL!



We got to our campsite first before my sister and her family did - they had a longer drive than us.


We stayed at Burlington Campground - on the Avenue of the Giants.


Everything is set up - waiting on family to arrive!


Our first full day, we headed to the coast.  We stopped at the Fort Humboldt Historic Site.



Then on to Eureka to see some of the beautiful homes - this is the most photographed one.  Super cool!








Then to lunch at a place called Gill's by the Bay.




Delicious fish and chips!


Then to the ocean!!  Ahh!  Beautiful day!  











Family photo time!


Love on the beach!  We just liked grossing this kids out! LOL!



Sistas!

Taking it all in!

Then it was back to our campsite!  We had Seafood foil packets for dinner with banana boats for dessert.  Both were scrumptious!!

Seafood Foil Pack Dinner
Potato/veggie medley (Frozen variety - I used roasted red potatoes with veggies-asparagus, carrots)
Fish filet (I used tilapia but you can use most any kind)
Small pre-cooked shrimp
Seasonings (I used McCormick California Style Garlic Pepper with red bell and black pepper)
Spray the foil square with cooking spray.  Put the veggies and potatoes on the bottom.  Season the filet and place on top of veggies.  Put a handful of shrimp on top.  If you want, put in a lemon slice or two.  


Campfire Banana Boats

Bananas (split down the top)
Any flavor of chip - chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter
Mini marshmallows
Syrup - chocolate, caramel
Peanut butter

Stuff your banana with your favorite toppings.  Wrap in heavy duty foil.  Place on hot coals.  Eat with a spoon! :)
This recipe can be made to your taste.  Use a different flavor chip such as butterscotch or dark chocolate or peanut butter.  You can even add graham crackers to make it like a s'more. :)
