Allison’s Book Report - Vacation Edition

Allison’s Book Report - Vacation Edition
Official mascot -- banana slugs

Source: Photos by The Family Diegel

I am still on the road this week, enjoying time with family and friends amongst the trees on the Northern California coast. The Redwoods are gorgeous as always - we have seen elk and their day-old calves, a big burly bear fresh from his nap and looking for a snack, and the banana slugs are bountiful. Have you ever seen a banana slug? They are gigantic and very slimy and, if I'm being honest, really gross…. But the kids are obsessed with them, and the banana slug has become the unofficial mascot of this trip. Ew. 

I promise that I will be back to reading and rambling next week, but for this week, here are a few pictures from our adventures. As always, pop over to my Instagram @allison.the.reader, where I never take a break from books—even while I am lost in the forest amongst the banana slugs.
