Over the 4th of July weekend, me and my hubs drove north to the Lost Coast and stayed in a little town called Ferndale, a Victorian village in Humboldt County.  We took the long way driving through the Avenue of the Giants, a narrow road that winds through some of the largest redwoods I have seen yet since moving to the west coast.  Absolutely enormous and incredibly stunning.  Soon thereafter we rolled into Ferndale, a super quaint town with B+B’s that love to decorate their rooms pink, perfectly manicured colorful houses, and a full on Main street that was gearing up for their annual 4th of July parade.  It was quintessential Americana.  A perfect way to celebrate the 4th.
