Some photos from my trip... 

The elk were hanging out under the trees, quite a ways from the visitor's center.

It was cold and windy on the beach and Margene didn't want to go for a walk with us, so Jordan and I wandered around a bit.

We hit several redwood groves, and other places like Trees of Mystery, to give Jordan a good feel for the redwoods.

We also drove through the Avenue of the Giants- I hadn't been there since I was a kid!
