Are you a person who likes trees more than flowers, or vice versa?

I like trees way more than I like flowers. Especially the ancient redwoods/sequoias that are exceptionally massive.

Is Sequoia National Park in California a good place to take young children on vacation?

I am planning a family vacation. I have a 2 and 5 year old. I remember the pictures of people driving through the forest looking at the trees. I am not sure how much hiking and walking will be required.

I would like an outdoor trip for the family. We’ve never been out camping and it is a shame.

If you have any other suggestions it would be appreciated. Keep in mind that the only seasoned camper in our group is my husband. I am not ready to carry 2 kids up a mountain. :)

Would it look strange If I stain my deck floor a redwood color with the rails still white?

The whole thing has always been white (even the floor) and it’s so touch to keep it clean because we have a lot of trees, thus pollen and mildew always collect on the floor. So this year for my annual re-stain I’m tempted to keep the rails white but stain the floor a darker color, perhaps a redwood color, to eliminate the vulnerable floor. Would this look weird? Any tips, ideas, etc.

Like the Angeles National Forest. It’s not a forest. It’s filled with shrub, rocks, dried sand. It’s ugly. Trees in southern california are ugly. you have to go to northern california to see those beautiful redwoods.

Difference between Sequoias/Redwoods?

What is the difference? I have always wanted to see the biggest trees on earth. I have seen beautiful pictures of them in misty forests. I am not sure where to go to see them. Are they redwoods or sequoias?
Also, my husband is handicapped and has limited mobility, so hiking is out of the question. Any advice? Where to see them? Where to stay? How to get around?
