My parents came for a brief visit in between their travels between work and a wedding. We took them to Muir Woods for a leisurely stroll among the redwoods. It was a beautiful, crisp morning, with smaller crowds and sunlight streaming through the trees. The boardwalk was well maintained and the entire path was very accessible.

My mom’s been really into using her selfie stick lately and we stopped frequently with views of mom looking straight up at the trees.

I feel like my mom continues to shrink a little bit more every time I see her, but her “look” when I’ve done something wrong is still at its full strength. It was nice spending time with the parents again, even if for a little while. Hoping as the pandemic eases a bit, we’ll get to experience more travels together soon.
